School Transport September 2020

Usually by the end of summer term, parents have been notified about school transport for the following academic year and those arrangements are all in place.  However, this year we have received significantly lower applications than we would normally expect and no communications to parents have been sent about transport, due to the Covid-19 situation and the uncertainty of what will be happening as of September.

Government advice is that where possible, parents and carers are encouraged to take children to school by walking or cycling, or alternatively by private car, rather than using public transport.  We understand that this won’t be possible for some families. If a child is eligible to receive free school transport from the Council then we will make the necessary travel arrangements.

I would be grateful if you could please encourage parents to apply for school transport as soon as possible.I was hoping as a school you could include the application information on your school website, weekly newsletter or any other communication with parents you may see fit.

Parents need to apply online on the Flintshire website linked below;

Dear All,

We would like to invite your pupils to take part in this year’s Summer Reading Challenge- Silly Squad. Silly Squad will officially launch in Wales this Friday with the launch of the online resources in Welsh.  Even though our services are not running in the normal way we would like to encourage children to join in the fun, get silly and keep reading over the summer with us.  To mark the launch there will be a special ‘Silly Hour’ on Friday afternoon where we will be sharing silly stories via our Facebook page  www.facebook.com/LlyfrgelloeddAuraLibraries/

Children can read any books they like to take part in the challenge- school books, e- books, their own books or they can order library books via our ‘Select & Collect’ service :call 01352 703750, email[email protected]or by filling in an order form via our websitewww.aura.wales/libraries. 

It’s really easy to join the challenge too.  Children can sign up online athttps://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ or they can just pop along to either Buckley, Connah’s Quay, Flint or Mold Libraries from 27^thJuly to collect their Silly Squad ‘Challenge in Bag’  which contains everything they need.  Children ordering books will automatically receive a Silly Squad bag.

We would love if you could share this information with parents and children.  I have attached further information which goes into more detail about ‘Silly Squad’.

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
It has been really lovely to catch- up with the groups of learners in ‘bubbles’ over the past two weeks. I am looking forward to seeing you all this week too.
This is your last week of online working as there will be no extra work set for you over the Summer holidays. You all deserve a good rest.  Well done to you all for the continued hard work and thank you for the lovely messages you have sent on to me to let me know what you have been busy doing and also, for sharing your memories too. It has been lovely to hear from you.
I hope you enjoy the last of the 2do’s that are set on Purple Mash for you, I am sure you will.
All that is left for me to say is, to take care everyone. Stay safe and continue to make lovely,happy memories.
See you soon, From,
