St Andrew's C of E Primary School

Just a reminder that starting next week (including the first day back), children will be expected to come to school wearing their PE kit on the days they have PE. Children have PE twice each week. A letter was sent out earlier this year explaining the reasons for this change (this letter is attached). It is important that children come into school wearing the correct school PE kit. Uniform is an important part of school life—it promotes a sense of belonging, encourages equality, and helps maintain a focused learning environment; it is not an opportunity for them to wear their own clothes so we would appreciate your support with this. School PE kit: normal PE shorts, a white polo shirt, and their usual school jumper or cardigan. On colder days, plain black tracksuit bottoms may also be worn. Day Classes doing PE: Monday Y3 and Y6 Tuesday Y3 and Y1 Wednesday Y5 and Y4 Thursday Y2, Y4 and Y5 Friday Y1, Y2 and Y6

Good morning We have been asked to send out the attached posters from the Harm Outside the Home Team from Warrington Borough Council. They contain information about Deliberate Fires for children and for parents. Kind regards

We’d like to make you aware that some pupils have created class WhatsApp groups, which are being used outside of school. Unfortunately, we've seen cases where inappropriate language and unkind messages have been shared. These online issues are often brought into school and impact relationships and learning time. We kindly ask that you monitor your child’s phone use and speak with them about respectful behaviour online. Please also be aware that WhatsApp’s minimum age is 13. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a positive school environment. Gemma Moulsdale Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers, We would like to inform you that we have received a reported case of threadworms (also known as pinworms) in school. Threadworms are a common childhood infection and are not usually serious, but they are easily spread between children and within households. The most common symptom is itching around the bottom, particularly at night. According to guidance from the NHS, the treatment for threadworms involves: • Everyone in the household taking medication – even if they are not showing symptoms – to prevent reinfection. Treatment is available from pharmacies without a prescription. • Maintaining good hygiene for at least 2 weeks, including: o Washing hands and scrubbing under fingernails regularly (especially after using the toilet and before eating). o Bathing or showering each morning to remove eggs laid overnight. o Keeping fingernails short and avoiding nail-biting or finger-sucking. o Washing sleepwear, bedding, towels, and soft toys regularly. For full details, you can visit the NHS page on threadworms here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/threadworms/ We appreciate your support in helping us manage this issue and reduce the risk of further spread. If you have any concerns or suspect your child may be affected, please seek advice from your pharmacist or GP
