UPDATE
From Staffordshire County Council
Thank you to all parents / carers for your support over the past few weeks.
As a reminder, please do not send your child to school if they have symptoms of coronavirus.
Currently anyone who has one of the main symptoms of persistent cough , high temperature, loss of taste or smell must self-isolate immediately and book a test.
However, Staffordshire County Council have expanded their advice around when to get a test.
Due to many people displaying other symptoms, they now recommend residents in Staffordshire consider getting a test as a precaution if they have any other symptoms such as:
headaches
aches and pains
feeling very tired for no good reason
sore throat
runny nose
sneezing
sometimes ‘tummy ache’ in children
People with any of these symptoms can carry on going to school or work if they are well enough to do so and only need to self-isolate if the test comes back positive.
The national testing centres across the country have good availability, can be booked through NHS website.
People booking a test through the website need to check the ‘My council have asked me to get a test’ option.
Thank you for your continued support. ... See MoreSee Less

Borrow Box:
Thank you to all Y7 and Y8 parents who have returned your Borrow Box slips to your child's tutor. This is an excellent opportunity to give students a range of ways to read and access free books. We would like to stress that students should still be bringing in a reading book and we want to be encouraging students to read an actual book but are keen to offer alternatives as well. If you haven't done so already please can you check class charts and your Parent Mail for the Staffordshire Library letter and join online and then let your child's tutor know you have done this.
Thanks ... See MoreSee Less

Our latest book recommendation:
Songbirds and Snakes is this weeks recommended read. Return to the world of The Hunger Games in a compelling prequel that both informs the original trilogy and stands alone as a powerful, breathlessly exciting science fiction thriller.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes. ... See MoreSee Less
