Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school.
If you have registered your child's name for a hamper, you can come up to the school field to collect it on Friday 3rd April between 12.00 midday and 2.00PM. The tables will be split into classes and spread apart as much as possible for social distancing purposes.
If the weather does not allow this, then the tables will be spread out in the upper school hall.
For parents/carers who have children in more than one class, all their hampers will be on the table of the oldest child. E.g. someone with a child in both Mr Buckle's and Mrs Rogers' classes will find both their hampers on Mr Buckle's table.
All hampers will have children's names on them, and a register will be taken. If for any reason you would like someone else to collect your hamper, please tell school about it beforehand by emailing this information to meals@codnor.derbyshire.sch.uk. If you cannot email, you can inform us by phone, but email would be preferable.
This is a fluid situation, and if anything has to change regarding these arrangements then we'll let you know. As always, please keep an eye on our website (and Facebook if you're into all that).
After Easter, school may be moving towards providing vouchers. We'll let you know about this, as we're waiting on more information from the DfE and Derbyshire County Council.
Thanks, and we hope you're all well.
Derbyshire County Council are providing hampers for children who are registered to have Free School Meals. Please note this does not mean the universal free school meals that children in Reception to Y2 receive – only those who are registered for Free School Meals are entitled to a hamper.
There will be one hamper available for each child who is registered for Free School Meals, but parents/carers have to claim these first.
To claim the hamper, please email your children's names and classes to meals@codnor.derbyshire.sch.uk, and we will add you to the list. If you are unable to email, then you can call school, but we'd much rather you emailed if possible to avoid swamping the phones.
The hampers will be delivered at some point next week for you to collect from school. We’ll let you know when and how.
You must let us know if you want the hamper by 3.30PM on Monday 30th March, as we have to put the orders in then.
For more information about Derbyshire's Free School Meals, see our Useful Information page.
Thank you.
We've made arrangements for you to pick up your child's home learning pack this Thursday (26th March). For social distancing purposes, and to minimise contact with others, we have allocated the following rough times for you to pick these up. Packs for all classes will be available all day, so if you have two children in different classes, you can pick both of the packs up on the same trip.
Following government guidelines, you are allowed to come out of your house for exercise, so this trip would count as that.
If by mutual agreement, you are able to pick anyone else’s up (e.g. if they are self-isolating or at work), then that would be helpful.
We are hoping to have the packs on tables on the school field, but if the weather doesn’t allow this, then the packs will be in the lower school hall.
If you really cannot make the time slot, then that’s not a problem – come up in the afternoon, but to keep everyone as safe as possible, please try to keep to the times if you can.
Thanks, and we hope you're well.
To make social distancing work in reducing the spread of COVID-19, the government says that if it is at all possible for children to be looked after at home, they should be. Many parents who are key workers may be able to ensure their child remains at home. Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.
Information about who is considered a key worker is available here on the government's site.
At school, we are providing education packs for children who are learning from home. These will be available next week – we’ll let you know when. There are also some activities on our website here.
Children who are attending school will not be covering our usual curriculum. They will complete some of the same work from the packs, but will also do a topic-based project which will involve different subjects. Depending on numbers, the children will be taught together.
This provision will not be the same as a normal school day, and children will not be required to wear school uniform.
Lunch will follow exactly the same routines as normal. School dinners will be provided, and children may bring sandwiches.
There may be days when you can keep your child at home. Following the government's guidelines, this is preferable, but you must ring the school office in the morning so that we know your child is safe at home.
On the morning of Monday 23rd March, the upper school hall will open from 8.45AM. All children who have been previously registered must report to there, including nursery children. Our staff will be there to receive them.
Some parents have asked if there will be provision during the Easter holidays. This is currently under review but if this was to happen, it would most likely be provided by a third-party company.
Again, the key message here is to minimise the risk. If you can keep your children safe at home, then you should do that.
We are writing to let you know that in line with the Government policy, school will be closed to pupils from Friday. Staff will be working to provide parents/carers with printed home-learning packs with some activities for pupils to do. We'll let you know when these are ready. In the meantime, there are some useful activities on our website at the address below.
We will keep you updated.
