Health Information - COVID19

Update to parents/carers 1st April 2021 Good morning. I am hoping you have received a copy of our Easter newsletter. It is also on the website. I just wanted to stress a couple of points: • Please contact me (p.hearle@ludlowschool.com) if your child develops any symptoms of Covid-19 within two days of the end of term (Friday and Saturday). • LFD Home testing – please continue the routine of twice weekly testing and reporting to NHS Test and Trace. • Please test your child on Sunday evening, 18th April, or Monday morning, 19th April, so that we can isolate any positive cases before the return to school. Free School Meal vouchers have been sent out to families for the two weeks of the holiday, today. We had hoped that face coverings would not be necessary in classrooms after Easter. However, we must await an announcement from the Prime Minister over the Easter period for any decisions regarding safety measures in schools. It has been a wonderful four weeks back together in school. Thank you for your support over this difficult term. Best wishes, Paula Hearle

Supporting your child at Ludlow School

  • Always make sure your child attends regularly, arrives on time and wears the correct uniform
  • Keep in touch with school and attend meetings
  • You will be sent progress updates each term, a full annual report and an invitation to an annual Parents’ Evening
  • If you are concerned about your child’s progress at any time, please contact the tutor; a daily report can be issued and you will receive feedback about issues like work-quality, behaviour and homework each evening
  • If you have any issues that worry you, please contact the tutor earlier rather than later; if we don’t know about it, we can’t deal with it
  • Ask for letters and complete reply slips as quickly as possible; the Headteacher sends out a newsletter once every half term; you can have these emailed to you if you would prefer; just let us know; you can also check the school website for information
  • If there are important changes in your child's life, please let his/her tutor know (medical problems, home circumstances, changes to contact details)
  • Find out what sort of day your child has had at school; ask about what they have done, what went well? And if there have been any problems?
  • Ask about homework and check the planner; you can communicate with any teacher by writing a note in the planner; in this, you will find merit stickers for good work and attitude to learning and any demerit stamps and detentions for things that have concerned a teacher, like poor organisation, a poor standard of work, or no homework; this helps you keep track on a day-to-day basis.
  • Encourage reading and give help if needed; reading remains the single most important skill that will make a difference to grades achieved
  • Encourage your child to take part in extra-curricular activities
