| THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND COOPERATION Dear Lovely School Family, We feel so blessed to have all our Yr6 children in school this week and to be together once again as a wonderful, school family. Thank you for continuing to follow the government guidance and thank you to all those parents who are helping to keep our children safe by following our polite requests. |
WELCOME TO MRS MYLREA
Acting SENDCo
After a rigorous recruitment process, we are delighted to inform you of the exciting news that Mrs Emma Mylrea has been appointed, to be the Acting SENDCo whilst Miss Taylor commences her maternity leave. Mrs Mylrea has worked at All Saints’ for 5 years. She has taught the children throughout the school when they were in her class and also knows Reception fairly well since she has taught them every Tuesday morning in the Autumn term. We are convinced she will do an excellent job in this role will continue the fabulous journey of support our children are already receiving.
A huge thank you to Miss Taylor for ensuring a smooth transition and to Mrs Higgins and Mrs Woodgate as Governors who dedicated their time, support and wealth of knowledge to support us in this recruitment process.
A more detailed letter from Mrs Mylrea is attached
Respect Charter
Dear Parents,
Please read the Respect Charter attached which was placed on Tapestry last Friday. We felt it necessary to reassure parents that any behaviour which breaches the Respect Charter will continue to be shared with the Local Authority and responded to appropriately.
Warm regards,
The All Saints' Team
GOVERNOR OF THE WEEK
Each week one of our governors will introduce themselves to you. We start off with Hev Taylor.
MY ROLE IN SCHOOL: I became a Foundation Governor in 2019. I had to look up what that meant before I said yes. Initially I thought it was to do with Early Years until I did some googling on the Diocese Education site. I work as a teaching assistant at Heaton School (which is a Special school for 11-19 years) and was a staff governor there from 2016- 2020.
I am on both the Curriculum and Ethos committees.
As a new class governor friend to Reception, I really hope to meet them in the flesh before they reach Year 1. However, it is good to know I can continue the links with them as they continue their All Saints’ journey.
WHY I BECAME A GOVERNOR: Daniel, our vicar, spoke to me for about 1 minute one day at church, while I was helping at Playaway toddler group. I had already had some connections with AS school, mainly through involvement with the 2018 Church Week. I loved the positive ‘feel’ of the school and met an enthusiastic and caring Mrs Gaynor. Having spent many years volunteering in various children’s work, I remember thinking how I would love to be connected more with the school.
RECENT INTERACTIONS WITH SCHOOL: I have enjoyed connecting with Miss McConnell and have joined in a class bingo and a World Book Day via Zoom. My granddaughter (age 5) participated in World Book Day and shared her favourite book alongside your superheroes, dinosaurs and princesses. She was very welcomed by the Leprechaun Unicorn teacher. I have a passion for storytelling and have been able to send in a few pre-recorded stories for the children. Miss McConnell and I often exchange both encouraging and comical messages
It has been a privilege to be involved in applying for the C of E Church-School Partnership Award. We are currently awaiting confirmation of receiving this award. After only 2 years as part of the AS community I could already list many examples of the positive links between school and church. It was great to talk to Mrs Day about the final document, which was a real celebration of the mutually encouraging partnership. I am very proud to be part of this community.
ENCOURAGING WORD TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS: It’s good to know the children are back together again. I know that it’s taken extra commitment from both teachers and parents to support schooling at home. Give yourselves a big pat on the back! Have a great Easter, when it comes, and here’s to the rest of the school year as children discover more in the ‘All Saints’ Way’.
YOUNG CARERS ACTION DAY
Tomorrow, Tuesday 16th March, it will be the Young Carers Action Day. To mark this day, we are asking children to come in school uniform but to wear something purple e.g. socks, bobble or to bring something small into school of that colour so we can honour and show support for these unsung heroes.
Hannah Thompson, one of the Liaison Workers, will be leading a workshop for bubbles of our children on the day.
The theme is Protecting Young Carers Futures.
| Household Asymptomatic Testing Household testing Public Health England are continuing to work on developing a strategy for implementing this initiative in Stockport. Currently families can request test kits on-line. We will provide further updates about the way in which the programme will be delivered in the near future. |
