Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• School Closure

  Mon 04 Jan 2021
  Having considered our risk assessment, due to staff availability, we no longer have sufficient staff to open classrooms, teach the children, and keep them safe. For that reason, there is no choice but to close Rolleston to all but key workers and vulnerable children from Tuesday 5th January until further notice.

• End of term arrangements Dec 2020

  End of Term Arrangements

   

  The Department for Education has just published a statement around end of term arrangements for schools. The statement confirms that schools will remain contactable for 6 days after the final day of teaching, so they can assist with contact tracing where necessary. This will allow enough time for positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases to be identified and confirmed by a test and for relevant contacts in the education setting to be traced.

   

  The Department of Education has such confirmed that schools may wish to adjust their term dates to make Friday 18th December an INSET day, as part of the track and trace arrangements leading up to the festive period.

   

  As always we are following the health and safety guidelines set out by the DFE to support our staff and your children and also ensuring that school staff get the time off that they need and deserve.

   

  The health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff is our top priority, and, as such, we have agreed that for Eyres Monsell Primary and Rolleston Primary, Friday 18th December will become a non-teaching day.

   

  This will mean that pupils should not attend school on this day.

   

  Reporting positive cases of coronavirus for the first 6 days following the end of term (Friday 18th December - Wednesday 23rd December), parents should inform us if their child tests positive for coronavirus by emailing the school via the link below:

  https://www.rolleston.leicester.sch.uk/coronavirus-information/

   

  Where pupils are required to self-isolate due to contact with a positive case after the first 6 days following the end of term (i.e. after Wednesday 23rd December), schools do not need to be informed about their absence until the first day of the new term.

   

  Rolleston Primary School re-opens on Tuesday 5^th January 2021.

   

  Thank you for your continued understanding in these difficult times.

• Coronavirus update

  Coronavirus Update

  I am sure that many parents and carers will have watched or read about the Government’s ‘roadmap’ yesterday and the potential reopening of Primary schools, in a phased manner, from the 1^st June 2020.

  At this point, we have no further guidance or detail as to how this will look and what measures need to be in place, to enable schools to safely open and for myself as the Head teacher, governors, parents and staff to be confident in the knowledge that pupils, staff and families will be safe returning to school.

  Yesterday’s guidance made clear that the date of 1^st June is a suggestion and is conditional, meaning in order for schools to open, the Government will make a further review of measures in place, as it considers whether to further release the lockdown. Therefore, unfortunately, we are unable to answer parents’ questions about a potential phased opening or provide any clarity or reassurance until we know more. As such, currently everything remains the same until more information is known and as a school, we can effectively plan for that next step.

  Current situation

  In line with current Government guidance: “If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they must be.”

  This means that, currently, the school only remains able to provide places to:

  • Vulnerable pupils (those with a social worker or on an Education and Health Care Plan - ECHP)

  • Children of essential key workers critical to the COVID 19 response (where arrangements cannot be made to care for the child safely at home).

  Places are prioritised as the school remains working with significantly reduced numbers of staff and must adhere to stringent health and safety guidelines to protect the pupils and adults in the school building. As such, please only get in touch to request childcare, where it is essential and you meet the above criteria.

  We are currently reviewing health and safety measures and making changes to our practices, so children and parents who have been allocated a space to date, may notice a difference from this week, in terms of how children are being grouped in school. This is to ensure that we keep numbers of pupils and adults to a minimum in rooms, to limit contact and therefore reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

  As more guidance is released, the school will review it and begin to make arrangements to support a safe opening of our school, as is required. We will keep parents updated and informed of any changes.

  Yours sincerely,
