Dear Parent / Carers,
Whole school staff participated in Zones of Regulation training delivered by the Haringey Language & Autism Support Team this week. This allowed staff to learn how to use a school wide approach designed to foster children’s self-regulation and emotional control. It is a curriculum designed to help children identify, regulate and navigate social and sensory challenges and learn better self-regulation strategies and emotional literacy. We look forward to embedding a common language in each classroom and building its use among the school community. We will provide more information about this and our approach to behaviour in the autumn term when we plan to host a coffee morning around this topic.
I was informed that some parents were not able to access the holiday provision survey. We hope that we have fixed the issue and would really appreciate it if we could get your feedback regarding our Holiday Play scheme. We have created a very simple 3 question Google form which should take less than 60 seconds to complete. Please complete it even if you don’t use holiday provision as we are trying to establish how much demand there is for such a service.

N.B. Obviously as tests are no longer required, this guidance is only for those who happen to have done a test that they bought privately, or that have remaining supplies. It is not a requirement that people take them when they have symptoms.
When children and young people with symptoms should stay at home and when they can return to education:
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Kind Regards
