Ibrox Primary School

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.

Christmas Hamper Letter updated

All P7 children should have received a text message regarding ordering a leavers hoodie along with a letter. The last date to order these is Friday 10th December. If you are wanting to order after this date the template will need to be remade so there will be an additional cost.

Miss Hendry has organised the hoodies with the company, if you have any queries please call the school office and ask to speak to her between 9am and 1pm.

Tomorrow the whole school will be walking to the Pearce Institute in Govan to see their pantomime, ‘A Christmas Carol.’

Children will have an early lunch and be escorted by school staff to walk to Govan Cross and back. Children do not need to bring anything with them and will be back at school for normal leaving times at end of day.

Please ensure your child has sensible footwear and a warm and waterproof jacket for the walk there and back as there are snow and strong winds forecast. We will assess the weather prior to leaving school and if we feel children and staff would be at risk we will cancel the trip.

A thorough Covid Risk Assessment has been carried out with the venue.
