Government guidance updates
Following on from my last update, I am now writing to confirm that the government have placed England into a full lockdown, with instruction
to stay at home.
As part of the national lockdown schools have been asked to remain open for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers. All
other children will learn remotely until February half term at the earliest.
It is important that we all do all we can to ensure nobody is put at unnecessary risk, including school staff and their families. We will be operating a skeleton staffing structure to provide supervision to children
when they are in school.
We fully appreciate the challenges of juggling working from home and supporting with home learning however we must ensure that everybody
remains at home where it is safe and possible to do so, in line with government legislation.
We are committed to ‘doing our bit’ to reduce the spread of COVID and to keep the Fulham Primary community safe, and we are grateful for
your support. If you want to get in touch at any point, please don’t hesitate to do so via telephone or email.
Please ensure that you look after yourselves and those around you. Ms Schooneman

any of the possible COVID19 symptoms:

more or three episodes throughout the day)

1. If your child, or anyone in your household, displays
any of the above symptoms, you MUST keep all your
children off school

this includes any siblings and not

2. You must get a COVID-19 test. If the test comes back
negative (you need to provide proof of this) your

Sharing Learning!
We have a fantastic Twitter account where we post all the great things that are happening in our school and where we share important information.
Please follow us on
@FulhamSchool
Each week, different classes share what they have been doing in and around school.
Communication
It is
absolutely vital
that every
family in our school has this
App downloaded on their
phones.
School Gateway is our main form of communication with you. A text message is a quick and easy way for us to send you information and for you to reply back or let us know something.
All our text messages are sent via this app.
You can access the weekly newsletter, our Twitter page and the school website through the App by clicking on the Useful Links
Tab.
All money payments for school lunches, Breakfast & After School Club will also be made through the App.
It is free to download if you haven't already done this. We still have a small percentage of our families who have not got the
App and therefore are, and will be, missing out on vital information.
Please ensure you have this App installed! Thank you!
