posted 20 Apr 2021, 06:39 by James Wilding

The new Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, has today launched The Big Ask – the largest ever consultation with children aged 4 to 17 in England. It aims to find out children’s concerns and aspirations about the future, so that we can put children at the heart of our country’s recovery from the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

All schools are encouraged to support their pupils to complete this survey. A range of teaching resources have also been produced, including lesson plans and activity packs, to help teachers incorporate this into their lessons.

Schools Back - supported by Lateral Flow tests - Monday 8 March

posted 9 Mar 2021, 00:58 by James Wilding   [ updated 9 Mar 2021, 01:00 ]

As can be seen from these photos at school, we have repurposed our Chapel and Dining Room to facilitate the mass testing of pupils and staff for Asymptomatic presence of Covid-19 in our population. To date, we have carried out over 1000 Lateral Flow tests with no positives or voids - great reliability and provides a strong sense of security in our minds.  You can watch a PHE video on LFT testing here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebxhEOLfTN0 

Return to 'In-School' teaching & learning is accompanied by the joys of Lateral Flow Tests for all, teachers & pupils
