• Covid update for parents/carers

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  As you will be aware, there is currently a reported increase in positive Covid cases and hospitalisations across the country and specifically in the Liverpool area, mainly involving the Delta Variant. As always, we are being highly vigilant in school, in order to keep pupils, staff and all our community as safe as reasonably possible. We are extremely grateful to all parents and carers for their understanding and compliance regarding testing and isolation requirements if their child is symptomatic.

   

  Currently, the C.A.S. Risk Assessment and Key Information for Parents/carers have not changed. We require all pupils, staff and every member of the wider school community to adhere to these. Social distancing, remaining in “bubbles” and enhanced hygiene measures are essential to keep everyone safe and well. Public Health England advice is that face coverings should be worn in communal areas and classrooms unless someone is medically or otherwise unable to do so.

   

  We have been advised by the Local Authority as of yesterday, that no trips to indoor venues should go ahead. Consequently, our class end of year activities will all be outdoor, take place locally and be socially distanced from people outside our school “bubble”.

   

  Please remember that Lateral Flow home testing kits are available on request from our school office info@childwallabbeyschool.net and we would encourage all parents and carers to take up this offer.

• Happy half-term!

  Fri 28 May 2021

  We have had a very positive time in school over the past few weeks. We are so proud of our KS3 pupils, who took part in this year’s Dot Art competition. The three winners will be taking part in a virtual awards ceremony. Thank you to everyone who voted! C.A.S. School Council election was a great success very. Class representatives are wearing their badges with pride. The first Council meetings went well. Our councillors have lots of great ideas. Our Sixth-formers have been working very hard, developing our horticulture area, which is filling up with lots of lovely flowers, fruit and vegetables.

   

  During half-term, our new C.A.S. website will be launched. We’re not expecting any technical difficulties but if there any and and we need to share information with parents/carers, this will be via text messaging.

   

  When we return on 7th June 2021, we will be heading towards the summer holidays. Virtual Parents Evenings will take place on 14th and 21st June. We will hold a Summer Sports Activity Day this year. Unfortunately, on the advice of LCC, we will not be able to invite Parents and Carers to attend. We will do our best to capture events and share pictures via the website. Year 11 pupils and Sixth-form Leavers will be on the run up to the next stage of their education. We wish them the very best of luck as they prepare to move on to college or Sixth form in September and hope that they enjoy their long summer holiday. Their leaving date is Friday 25th June 2021, at the usual time.

   

  After the holiday, we hope to be out and about locally and on our site, enjoying good weather. Please apply sun cream to your child before coming to school, if required. Drinking water is available as required. Water bottles from home are not needed.

   

  We have been asked to share two sets of information with you, one from Liverpool City Council and one from Public Health Liverpool. Please see the links in the Latest News Documents section to read them.

   

  PLEASE NOTE: parents/carers should contact school if their child develops Covid symptoms BEFORE 3pm on Sunday 30th May 2021. Please leave a message on the school email – info@childwallabbeyschool.net After this time, contacting school is not necessary.

   

  There are no significant changes to our Covid Key Information. You can read the latest version on the Latest News Documents section.  Here’s hoping the sun shines on us all week. Have a safe and happy holiday.

  

• Democracy in action at C.A.S.

  Fri 30 Apr 2021

  All C.A.S. pupils have spent time throughout the past week learning about democratic values and how fortunate we are to have right to vote. School Council elections are taking place today. We are so proud of everyone for taking part in discussions, asking questions, stepping up as candidates, showing respect for other people’s opinions and exercising their right to vote in a secret ballot. What wonderful young citizens!

  

• Keep safe

  Fri 30 Apr 2021

  C.A.S. has received updated Online Safety advice from School Improvement Liverpool. It is so important that parents and carers are always vigilant about what their child may be exposed to online when they are not in school. Please click on this link here to read the refreshed advice and share key points with your child, as appropriate.

  

• Wellbeing matters

  Fri 30 Apr 2021

  We have been lucky to have lots of fine weather since our return to school after Easter. This has meant C.A.S. pupils have been able to spend lots of time in the fresh air, using our outdoor classrooms, exercise equipment, MUGA, sports field and walking in the local area. Exercise is so good for our mental health and wellbeing. Hopefully we will all be able to get out and about over the Bank Holiday weekend too. Enjoy the break!
