• Places for After School Club in September

  Fri 10 Jul 2020

  We are looking carefully at how we can provide wraparound care (before and after school) for the children of working parents, while working within the Government Guidelines about social distancing and so on, and striving to keep your children as safe as they can be within the current global situation. 

   

  In order to maintain distinct social bubbles (which we call ‘pods’), The After School Club (Wow Club) will be its own pod, with a set number of children in that pod throughout the week. As a result, some evenings the number of children staying in Wow may be rather low, but we are unwilling to increase the risk of transfer by opening the pod to additional children.

   

  The number of spaces available for children throughout the week is therefore limited to 16 altogether. 

   

  We are aware that this is a small number, and apologise in advance for any inconvenience that this might cause. We are offering these spaces, with priority for key worker parents who don’t have alternative childcare options, on a first-come, first-served basis. The pricing structure will remain the same, with 2 hour sessions being available for £6. (1 hour slots will not be available.)

   

  If a child or adult within the Wow Club pod tests positive for coronavirus, the staff and children who have attended on the same days that week would be required to self isolate for 14 days (according to current guidelines). Children who are booked on alternative days will be fine to continue attending.  

   

  Please ring Jodie on the school reception (272 1988) to book a place.

   

  In addition, please forward evidence of your key worker role by showing a document to a member of admin staff or SLT when you collect your child, or email enquiries@wybourncommunity.sheffield.sch.uk.

   

  Thanks

  Ms Thornley Headteacher

• School reopening a letter from the Trust.

  Thu 21 May 2020

  Dear families,

  You will have heard in the news that the government may increase the number of pupils who will be able to attend school from the start of June.  We do want our children back in school but, as I have said before, we need to get this right.  The safety and well-being of children, families and staff are of upmost importance.  Attached is a letter from Joanne Bradshaw, the CEO of Sheffield South East Trust (the small local trust that we are part of).  It explains the work that we are currently undertaking and some information about how, when the conditions are right, we intend to welcome groups of children back into school.  I will be in touch again over the next couple of weeks with more details.  If you have concerns or questions in the meantime, please ring school and a member of SLT will be happy to talk to you.

  Best wishes, Hannah Thornley
