FROGGY STARS - STRIVE -TEAM - AMBITION - RESILIENCE = SUCCESSWeek 10 – 12.11.21
Many thanks for your support this week. I am incredibly proud of the way our team at Flowery have continued to work together to ensure that our children continue to get a great deal!
Unfortunately, we have identified many symptomatic cases within our school community which has had a significant impact on staffing throughout school. Despite this, staff have gone above and beyond to ensure disruption to learning is minimised.
It’s been great to see children embracing their current humanities work, whilst our younger pupils have been sharing their own memory boxes, our older pupils have been learning important messages from the past. We are extremely proud of the way the children responded during our act of remembrance.
COVID Update
As you are aware, the situation around COVID is continuously changing. Unfortunately, we are once again seeing a rise in cases across school, this is having a significant impact on staffing. We are extremely grateful for your support and are hopeful that we can continue to stop the spread with regular LFD testing and PCR testing as and when required.
I have arranged for the COVID ambassadors to return to Flowery next week to distribute LFD testing kits.
Morning and After School Clubs
Unfortunately, we will be unable to run our clubs next week. The children who have places allocated to them will remain a priority once they are back up and running. I have spoken to Rainbows (out of school club provider) who have confirmed that they have places available at their breakfast club should families requires support. For more info please contact: rainbowclubs@mail.com or 07423816977
Forest School
Unfortunately, we are unable to run our Forest School sessions next week. Please check the year group Facebook pages for any updates.
My Child at School (MCAS)
The majority of families are now signed up to the app. We are extremely grateful for your patience during our transitional phase. The app has proved extremely helpful in sharing important messages over the last week. If you still need support in accessing the app please speak to a member of the office team.
School Meals/Payments
Many thanks to those families that have pre-ordered their child's meals through the app. All children receiving a school meal need to pre-order ( a week in advance) to ensure enough food has been ordered and all children receive their selected meal. From Monday 15th, only the children who have pre-ordered in advance, will be guaranteed their chosen meal.
Due to some children not receiving their chosen meal we have removed the desserts from the app. You can still discuss these with your child. The menus can be found by following this link:

All credits/debits should now have transferred over from Parentpay. Please check your child’s account and speak with Mrs Donavon in the school office if you have any queries.
