  • Breakfast Club Application

    Fri 20 Nov 2020
    If your child requires a place in the spring term breakfast club (4th Jan – 26th Mar) please complete an application form using the following link https://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/breakfastclubform .  The form will be available for completion from 7am, Friday 27th November to 5pm, Friday 4th December. The number of places will be limited to ensure that social distancing and effective hygiene and preventative measures can be maintained. Places will be prioritised based on the time of application and you will be notified at the end of the application if you are successful or unsuccessful.  Unsuccessful applicants will be placed on a reserve list and non-attendance will result in places being reallocated. Please note that in light of the current legislation in relation to breakfast clubs, prioritisation cannot be given to specific groups (e.g. previously unsuccessful applicants, vulnerable groups or key workers) as this provision is intended to provide a healthy breakfast to all learners. As places are restricted, please only apply if your child requires
    access to a free, healthy breakfast before the start of the school day.

    Dear Parent/Guardian

    Following further investigations this morning by RCT Track and Trace , we have been advised  to issue a second  letter again to the Parents of Yr 4/5 pupils only  informing them of the need to self isolate and giving them advice as well as a return to school date.    This has been done this morning by way of e-mail. 

     

    This second letter has also been posted  on our school website which can be accessed in the usual way by clicking on the "News & Events" tab and then by further clicking on the  "Newsletters" tab.

  • LETTER TO ALL PARENTS RE SECOND POSITIVE COVID CASE and LETTER TO PARENTS OF CLASS 4/5 ONLY 17.11.20

  • AMENDED RETURN DATE FOR YEAR 1/2 - 13.11.20

    Fri 13 Nov 2020

    Dear Parent/Guardian

     

    We have today been informed  by track and trace service that our Year 1/2 Class must self isolate until Monday 23rd November and providing that they do not have any COVID symptoms, they may return to school on Tuesday 24th November 

     

    We can only apologise for any confusion of the return date to school in this matter but we, like other schools in the RCT area calculated the return date on the advice in our documentation which states:-

     

    "Potential close contacts in the first instance should self isolate for 24 hrs pending further investigations by the Contract Tracing Service who with Public Health Wales will advise on which confirmed direction contact will require self isolation for a 14 day period"

     

    As we did not receive confirmation of the positive COVID result until late yesterday evening, we  interpreted that Year 1/2 became close contacts from when the test result was received which meant that they need to self isolate for a 24 hr period today whilst the Track and Trace investigation was conducted and that the further 14 days period would start yesterday.  However, it now transpires that the period is calculated from when the person was last in school and this is why the date has changed.  Unfortunately,our Guidance did not mention that the period starts from the date that the person was last on school premises and has lead to confusion over the return date.

     

    Kind regards
