Travel Survey

Amey Consulting have been commissioned by Monmouthshire County Council to investigate the current active travel provision in the vicinity of Caldicot School, Durand Primary School and Caldicot Leisure Centre. To this end, we would like to know any issues you have on your route to and from the Schools and/or Leisure centre. This will help us identify any potential improvements that could encourage walking/cycling/wheeling in this area.

Please take part in the survey with assistance of your parent/guardian and have your say. It should take approximately 4 minutes.

Warn and Inform Notification

Dear Parents,

Your child has been identified as a close contact of a case of COVID-19 as we have confirmed cases in our Year 4 class.

Although there is still a risk of your child getting COVID-19, your child can continue to attend school provided your child remains well.

For additional peace of mind we recommend that you book a PCR test for your child, unless they are aged under 5 years. You can do this on receipt of this letter and within 6 days’ time. You can book a PCR test online through the NHS website at www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or by calling 119. Unless a member of your household has already tested positive, you will not have to isolate whilst waiting for the results.

Please note that if your child is under the age of 5 years old they should not take COVID-19 tests unless directed to do so by a doctor or if you believe a test is absolutely necessary and in the best interests of your child. They should however remain off school whilst they have symptoms.

 If your child is in secondary school and any member of your household has tested positive for COVID-19, we also recommend that your child should undertake a daily lateral flow test every day for seven days in addition to PCR tests as outlined above.  This should start on the day a member of your household is confirmed positive from a lateral flow or PCR test result.

 We know that in general COVID-19 doesn’t affect young people as seriously as it does others in our families and community. But to help keep others safe, there are still some things you/your child can do to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. For the next 10 days we recommend you/your child:

• Avoid contact with anyone at greater risk from the effects of COVID-19 infection.
  This includes older people, those with long-term health conditions, and anyone who hasn’t received a full course of COVID-19 vaccine.
  
  
• Be alert for new symptoms.
  If you/your child start to feel unwell, no matter how mild the symptoms are, you/your child should stay away from school and get a PCR test.
  
  
• Limit contact with large groups of people as much as possible.
  Try to keep the number of people in close contact with you/your child to as few as possible. Avoid large gatherings outside of school, social events (e.g. birthday parties) and after-school activities.
  
  
• Keep washing hands regularly.
  This is still an important way to limit the spread of many infections, including COVID-19.

If your child remains well after 10 days you can return to normal activities.

We know how disruptive the last year has been for everyone. This year we want to keep your child in school as much as possible, but we also want to keep our communities safe from the effects of COVID-19. We hope that you will be able to play your part by following the advice above.

Take care and stay safe.

COVID19 information

Unfortunately we are still having positive cases of COVID19 within our school population and wider school family. If your child or anyone in your household tests positive for COVID19 then they should not attend school or come on to our school site. 

Also if your child has any symptoms, however mild, then they should be kept off school and if over 5, unless advised by a doctor if under 5, be taken for a PCR test.

The symptoms of Covid19 as stated on the Welsh Government website are:

• a high temperature: this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you don not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough: this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste: this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.

Parent Consultations

We are currently planning our parent consultations for the Autumn term. Our first parent consultation each academic year mainly focuses on how your child has settled into their new class, how they are progressing so far and areas where parents are able to support their child at home. Please note as this is an early consultation, we do not share exercise books with you until the spring term meeting.

You will all be aware that we are still living with cases of COVID19 and in fact we have had more cases this term than we did for the whole of the last academic year even though we have kept nearly all of our restrictions in place. Some parents may not feel ready to return to a face to face meeting at present.

With this in mind we have decided to offer parents three choices for our first parent consultation of the year, the options are: –

1. A face to face 5-minute appointment – parents are asked to arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before their appointment time to a designated outdoor sheltered space. The teacher will call you into the room for a physically distanced meeting. Appointments will be arranged after school on either Monday 11th October or Tuesday 12th October

2. A 5-minute phone consultation – this will be arranged at a mutually convenient time.

3. Written learner update report – this is based around their well-being/approach to learning with a short teacher comment and targets/next steps and will be sent home on Wednesday 20th October.

Parents will be asked to choose one option only via a Schoop form that we will send out to each individual class shortly. If parents do not respond to the form by the deadline of Monday 4^th October we will assume that they have opted to receive the written learner update and will therefore not be given an appointment for either the face to face meeting or phone consultation.

Welsh Government Letter

Changes to contact tracing and self-isolation from this September

I hope you and your child have enjoyed the summer break.

As we return to school, there are some new arrangements in place when someone tests positive for COVID-19. These changes have been made possible by the vaccination programme and the significant reduction in numbers being hospitalised and suffering severe illness due to COVID-19 over recent months.

If your child tests positive for COVID-19 using a PCR test, NHS Test, Trace, Protect (TTP) will contact you, using the details provided when the PCR test was ordered. They will ask questions designed to identify recent close contacts of your child, and for contact details - if you know them - of the individual or their parent/guardian. TTP will then get in touch with these close contacts to provide instructions or advice.

Those who are under 18 or fully vaccinated are no longer required to self-isolate if they are identified as close contacts. But they will be contacted to let them know that they’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. They will also be offered two PCR tests and provided with information and advice on how to minimise the risks of onward spread. If your child is identified as a close contact, they can still attend school unless they develop symptoms or are advised otherwise by TTP. Please continue to let us know if your child tests positive.

If a child tests positive, only a minority of their classmates will be identified as close contacts. But if there is a pattern of cases TTP may ask us to update you on the situation and remind you of key steps, including advising you to keep an eye out for new symptoms your child may develop, and to stay away from vulnerable family and friends in the short-term.

We do expect that there will be cases of COVID-19 across our community over the coming weeks, but this does not mean that COVID-19 is spreading within the school. Please continue to be vigilant for symptoms. If you are in any doubt, order a PCR test for your child at www.gov.uk/get‑coronavirus‑test or by calling 119.

Anyone with symptoms - a new continuous cough, fever or high temperature or loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste - should remain in self-isolation until the test result is known. You can find the latest information on self-isolation arrangements at www.gov.wales/self‑isolation.

We recognise how difficult the past 18 months have been and the sacrifices that all families have had to make. Thank you for everything you have done to support your child and their school.

Comic Relief Red Nose day

Comic Relief Red Nose day

Tomorrow it is, once again, Comic Relief Red Nose day. This year we are NOT asking pupils to dress up as it may be difficult, with most shops still closed, to get anything specific. We are also NOT holding a non-school uniform day.

A number of children have asked if they can bring in their Red Nose but unfortunately we have had to say no due to cross contamination concerns. However, if they wish they can use make up or face paint to colour their nose red or do something imaginative with their hair for the day (but not too over the top!) Pupils will be doing some activities in class, as part of our Feel Good Friday, to celebrate the occasion!

We will not be collecting donations in school for this but ask that if parents wish to make a donation they make it through the official Comic Relief channels.

Many thanks for your support with this.

New ELSA Online Activities available

This week’s ELSA theme is based on ‘Circle of Control’ 

This is a great social emotional lesson for children who are starting to learn how to problem solve on their own. It’s also a great activity to do to sort children’s worries, encouraging them to focus on those things that are within their control and those that are outside of their control, therefore not as worthy of their attention or energy.  

In your circle of control are the things you have power over, or control. Outside of your circle are things you cannot control. The more familiar children are with this concept the easier it is to problem solve using solutions that are within THEIR control.  

There are 2 sessions in the ELSA Home Activities Hwb folder, one for KS2 and one for Foundation Phase pupils, just select the one appropriate for your child. Younger children will benefit from adult support to do the activities. All pupils are welcome to take part, whether they are curently receiving ELSA in school or not. Enjoy!

2. When you enter the meeting make sure your camera is on but your mic is off.
3. We can’t all talk at the same time so I will ask you to unmute when it’s your turn. If you have a question, there is a little hand symbol so you can put your hand up. If you press this a second time then your hand will go down.
4. Your mum’s and dad’s don’t have to be on the screen with you, just in the same room.
5. Miss Collins will be the additional staff member on our chat today as this is required from our school policy.
6. If you don’t feel confident to have your video camera on that is absolutely fine.
7. Unfortunately, as with all technology, we may have some teething issue.
