As the weather is changing please ensure your child comes to school with the appropriate clothing to go outside at play and lunch times. We are following national guideline and will endeavour to get the children out as much as possible. 

Attendance

We need to stress the importance of sending your child to school every day and on time. They should only stay at home if they have been physically sick or have one of the three Covid symptoms (where a test is needed). We have a detailed back on track programme throughout the school, further absences and lateness will impact on your child's education. 

NHS Track and Trace APP 

The app is available for smartphones only - not tablets, smartwatches or other devices.

To get started, go to Android's Google Play or Apple's App Store and search for "NHS Covid-19".

The handsets must have Android 6.0 (released in 2015) or iOS 13.5 (released in May 2020) and Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. That excludes the iPhone 6 and older versions of Apple's handsets.

Parent Consultations

We plan to hold these during the week of the 21st October. At this point these will probably have to be either by Zoom and/or by phone. Based on the current situation at that time we will inform you of our decision.

Meanwhile please remember you can communicate with teachers about your child's learning via the class email . If you haven't yet set this up you must email your child's name to the class address so you can be added to the contact list:

nur@ /rec@ /yr1@ /yr2@ /yr3@ /yr4@ /yr5@ /yr6@  colneyheath.herts.sch.uk

PTA

Our PTA is still operating and looking at different ways to raise money for the children. You will be sent details of the AGM and officer elections soon. Meanwhile if you have any ideas of fund raising events that can take place with the current restrictions we would love to hear from you.

Don't forget the '200 Club' which is an easy way you can contribute.

Instrumental Lessons

We are currently re-instating the Violin and Guitar lessons that take place during school time which are private or shared paid for lessons.  If your child was participating in lessons back in March or continued to do so online during lockdown, you will have been sent a letter asking if you would like to continue using this service.  Please let us know as soon as you can so that we can start planning the return of these lessons.  

Additionally if your child would like to start taking lessons in either the Violin (Reception to Yr6) or the Guitar (Yr3 to Yr6) then contact the school office for further information.
