THIS WEEK'S NEWS
STAFF WELLBEING We have displayed the parental responses to home learning and displayed them in the staffroom. They are overwhelmingly positive and your hard work and dedication is really paying off for our children. Further to this, there is a poster of initiatives displayed that we are currently implementing to try to promote staff wellbeing in these difficult times. We have also created a google form so that your voices can be heard about home learning and anything else at the moment, to fill it in please click on the link below:

TWITTER Please keep on tweeting the amazing work you're doing. It's great to see and is a quick way to demonstrate to parents and the school community the work taking place across the school.
ANDY HELLON We are having a collection for Joshua. Andy would like to purchase a bench of some sort to remember Joshua by. Please transfer your contribution to Mrs Mullane. Thank you.
COURSE FEEDBACK A reminder for all staff that if you attend a course (even via zoom) please can you complete the online form feeding back on how useful the course was. This is our way at school of tracking the impact of any training attended and also highlights what may need sharing with other staff in the school. The link is below but can also be found as a button near the bottom of every newsletter. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAJYp2DQ8_3IF4CbUroJyoboOayyqBkiFv_BsFl3PWQQmQmA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Use CPOMS to record anything that is of a concern. However, if you feel it's significant and needs to be dealt with asap, please speak to Jane or Gemma.
If you see someone in school that you don't know - without a pass - please challenge them and ask them who they are!
Make sure you're always wearing a pass!
Remind children that staff have a blue pass and visitors have a sticker.
Keep completing these online forms to feedback on courses, trips, visits and drop ins. This includes visits to other schools, collaborative groups…etc. It helps us keep an impact on any CPD that takes place.
Mrs Whalen (Designated Safeguarding Lead)
Miss Steele (Deputy DSL)
If they're not available please see Mr Kemp.
