It has been brought to our attention that people are walking across and skating on the frozen lake. This is incredibly dangerous. I have attached a Winter Water Safety guide from the Royal Lifesaving Society. Please share this information with your family and friends.

Winter Water Safety

www.rlss.org.uk

In winter, children and pets are particularly at risk when tempted to play on the ice formed on open water, and adults can find themselves at risk in attempting to save them.

CwR is supporting the Rawcliffe Community Events Team to fundraise for the York Hospital Children’s Ward. We are looking to raise as much money as possible to provide TVs on trolleys for children that will be in hospital over the Christmas period or beyond.

All of our pupils from Y1-6 will be completing as many skips as they can in one minute on Wednesday 2nd December to fundraise for this great cause. Unfortunately we are unable to accept cash sponsorships at the moment so we are asking you make a donation, however small, using the link below:

Summary of Local Governing Committee meeting for 30th September 2020

After what has been a very turbulent few months for all of us, we had a Video meeting of governors on the 30th September, which allowed us to catch up with what is happening in school right now. In this meeting reports were presented by the Headteacher, the Business Manager (Finance Report) Safeguarding Lead (Safeguarding Policy and Update) and the school SENDCo (SEND Report).
First I want, on behalf of all the Governors, to pay tribute to Mr Herbert and his team for the colossal amount of work they have put in to making sure the school could open this term, be safe, and be a great place for your children to learn. An incredible amount of work has gone into this and I can only tip my hat to all involved. Bravo!
I also want to thank you, the parents, and your children, for showing such great support to the school, and for being so patient, at a very unsettling time for us all. Mr Herbert remarked that not only have the pupils settled in really well - after all this time out and with all the changes to their daily routines, but that they seem to have kept up really well with their learning whilst at home. As well as that attendance has been excellent, at over 97%. So thank you all!
As Governors we have necessarily not been in school and so we are reliant on the information coming from Mr Herbert and all the staff, as well as from you all, as to what happens in school and what it feels like. We were delighted, therefore, to see loads of pictures of the new learning arrangements, and all the pupils - albeit sat in an unusual format - ready to go.
I am personally absolutely thrilled by Mr Herbert's determination to make the curriculum as broad and interesting as possible for your children, with English and Maths woven into the teaching of all subjects, be they sciences or humanities. It isn't always easy to do, and it is a testament to the priority given to the school's Vision and Values that this is the case.
Nearly all of you will not know me and the current situation doesn't help in that regard - I was hoping to see, and meet some of you at, open days, Christmas plays, fairs, as well as day-to-day learning, and who knows? Maybe I will in the not too distant future.
In the meantime, keep well, and know that your children are in a fantastic place to learn, be safe, and enjoy life.
With my best wishes
John Sharpe

How lovely it has been to see all the pupils back in school today 😀

We now have a lovely new post box just inside the main school doors for parents to pass any forms or information to the school office without having to come into the school. The office staff will collect the post in the morning and afternoon.

Please remember we are unable to accept any cash payments at the moment. School meals must be paid for via the online system.

Many Thanks
