For 18th April, please assume current mitigations are still in place. My understanding is that once the legal requirement for face coverings in public places is removed, there will remain contexts (including schools) where the guidance will be that face coverings still be worn. I am expecting, therefore, to need to advise you to keep wearing a face covering on school property (including at drop off and pick up) and I will continue to ask you to maintain distance from those not in your household. But I will share changes to this advice when I get them. I hope the guidance will be updated today or tomorrow which will allow the Tempest family/group photos to go ahead this Friday. At this point it remains a provisional arrangement.
School Uniform please – classrooms must remain well ventilated so children may wish to bring an extra jumper to put over (not instead of) school jumpers. PE days should be plain sports wear (school colours when possible) and no football strips or denims.
We are planning a whole school topic this term around the Tayport Heritage Trail. We look forward to sharing the plans around this very soon. We hope to have families into school to share our learning around our community. It this is not possible it will be done virtually. Sports day will go ahead this term, and we expect to be able to invite parents to this too.
Parent Council meeting, via Microsoft Teams, is scheduled for 10 May at 7:30 pm. Please contact your parent council team if there is anything you would like to put onto the agenda (contact details can be found in the parental involvement section of the website).
