Learning Together, Rooted in God.
The staff have put something together for you to let you know we are still here thinking about you!
School is currently closed following the outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid 19). The government has issued the following guidance for parents:
Vulnerable children and children whose parents have been identified as key workers are able to access childcare during school closures. However, the overwhelming advice from the Government and the DfE is that "every child who can be safely cared for at home should be" (see the guidance on the link above).
At Barton St Lawrence CE Primary School we can cater for a SMALL number of our pupils during normal school hours (09:00 to 15:30). Please help us to keep the children of front line staff safe by only using this service if you absolutely have no other option.
There is no legal duty for teachers to provide work for pupils in school or at home during the outbreak. However, staff at St Lawrence have agreed to do so. Work will be published on each of the the class pages for children to complete whether they are at home or in school. Your child's class teacher will update this either daily or weekly. Each class teacher has also posted their contact details.
In school we will take part in the Joe Wicks PE sessions on YouTube at 09:00 each morning - why not join in from home?
Online Safety - DfE Guidance
Updated guidance for parents (1st May 2020) from the DfE includes the following information:
With children spending more time online
to do schoolwork and other activities, there could be an additional risk. This
is why it is more important than ever that children, parents and carers know
how to stay safe online.
It is important that parents and carers
talk to their children about online safety, show an interest in what they are
doing online and ask what they like and dislike about the apps and services
they use. Discuss age appropriate ‘ground rules’ like how much time they spend
online doing different things and what games and apps are appropriate to use.
Also consider setting up and reviewing age appropriate parental controls.
Setting parental controls can be a quick and effective tool to help protect
children online.
There is support available to keep your
child safe online. You can access further information on keeping
children safe online.
