Covid-19 Update

22nd May 2023Lee Wilkinson

A reminder about Covid-19 in school – if your child is unwell, particularly with a high temperature, sore throat and/or cough, please do not send your child to school. If your child tests positive for Covid-19, please keep them at home for 5 days or until he or she tests negative.

If your child has sickness and/or severe diarrhea, please do not send them into school until 48 hours after the last time your child was sick or had a bout of severe diarrhea.

Currently, we have several cases of Covid-19 in school, with both children and staff infected on both sites. We also have a number of cases of sickness and diarrhea in school.

Please help us to limit the spread of both illnesses in school.

Thank you so much for your support.

Family Partnership Coffee Morning

12th May 2022Lee Wilkinson

The Family Partnership Team (Tracy and Glynis) would like to thank all parents/carers who attended the Coffee Morning at Ashdale today.

A big thank you to Deb Hill (OT) and Sarah Donnelley (Speech and Language) for supporting our parents and offering advice and guidance.
It has been so long since we have been able to ‘get together’ and this morning has shown how important it is to be able to meet with other parents / carers, share stories and support each other.
We gathered lots of information from you this morning (eg: workshops you may be interested in and areas which you would like more information),  and we will be looking into everything we discussed.
Thanks again, and please remember, you are amazing and doing a fantastic job under some, often, very difficult circumstances.
See you all soon
Tracy and Glynis
