School Age Payment applications close for children who were born between 1 March 2016 and 28 February 2017.

The payment is £252.50 per child to help families with the costs associated with a child starting at Primary School.

People who get tax credits or certain benefits are encouraged to apply.

Parents or carers who have deferred their child’s entry to school from August 2021 to August 2022, or those home schooling, must still apply before the 28 February closing date or they will lose out on their payment.

Guidance has changed, just prior to our Christmas break, surrounding how parents will be notified of a positive case in the school community.

As before children mixing in schools are deemed to be ‘low risk contacts’ and would not need to isolate unless contacted by Test and Protect.

We will now send out the attached letter on our school app which will be available to all but will clearly identify the class where a positive case has been confirmed. Please read the letter and take notice of the recommendation that public health are advising, where possible, that children in identified classes take a lateral flow test before returning to school.

An example of the new letter we will issue can be read by clicking below

Low Risk Letter – Parents of primary and secondary school pupils – Updated Dec 2021

Please read the brief newsletter for the start of Term 3. A full newsletter will follow in next few weeks.
