• Halloween themed Day

  Fri 23 Oct 2020

  We may not be able to have our usual Halloween themed disco but that hasn't stopped us! Staff and children look incredible (in a very horrifying way) as you can see from the images below. Many people are simply not recognisable. All learning today has a link to the theme of Halloween and the children are loving the theme. Even some of our pupils who are currently self-isolating have joined in at home and sent us their photographs!

  Please have a look at class pages too for individual photographs and examples of their work.

  

• Positive COVID case

  Tue 06 Oct 2020

  I have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a second confirmed case of COVID-19 within the school in the Year 1 bubble. We have identified a link between the two cases so this is not being treated as a school or community outbreak but we know this will cause anxiety amongst our school community.

  We have liaised fully with Public Health England and they have confirmed that we have identified and isolated all the relevant staff and pupils and confirmed that our processes in school are robust.

  Children in Miss Walker's class have been asked to self-isolate (remaining at home until Wednesday 14th October). The school remains open to everyone else and your child should continue to attend as normal if they remain well. This includes any brothers and sisters of the children in Miss Walker's class as per the Government guidelines.

   

  I can confirm within school we ensure bubbles/class groups are kept separate, including separate times and gates for arriving and leaving school, separate times and zones for playgrounds and fields, children remaining in their own classrooms and having their own individual resources, areas that are shared, such as toilets being cleaned after every group or individual visit etc and these processes are consistent and understood by all so you can rest assured we are doing absolutely everything possible to ensure the risk to everyone is a low as possible.

   

  You all play a vital role in this. Public Health's clear message is about the importance of social distancing of 2m for everyone (with the exception of household bubbles). Please ensure you are following this guidance and promoting it with your wider friends and family.

  Many thanks,

  Mrs Johnson

• Positive Covid Case

  Thu 01 Oct 2020

  Due to a positive COVID test result, our mixed Reception/Year 1 class (Miss. Harrison's class only) now has to self-isolate. Letters have been sent to all Parents by e-mail. Copies of these letters can also be found in the News and Events tab- letters section.

   

  Please remember:

  • Only those who have been contacted by the school (the above class only) need to self-isolate.
  • No child or family member should order a test unless they have symptoms themselves
  • School is open to all other classes so brothers and sisters of the children affected by this can still attend school as normal
  • School will continue to have very strict measures on social distancing, handwashing, additional cleaning, not sharing resources etc to do everything we can to ensure everyone is kept safe.
  • You can help by ensuring that you/ your household follow the guidelines consistently.

   

  I realise that having a positive case in our school community has caused some panic this morning but please be assured as a school, we are doing absolutely everything we can to ensure we reduce the risks as much as is humanly possible.

  Please e-mail me (headteacher@anthonybek.derbyshire.sch.uk) if you have any questions or concerns.

   

  Many thanks for your ongoing support,

  Mrs. Johnson
