Headteacher's Welcome
Headteacher's Welcome
Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been a strange week at Parkfield with the children only attending over three days. However, those three have been action packed and plenty of learning has taken place in each class. As I have previously mentioned, our twitter feed demonstrates some of the great learning that takes place and I would recommend that you regularly visit the page.
The action will continue next Tuesday when Y3 visit Murton Park in Yorkshire to learn all about the Romans. This will be a great experience that the pupils will remember for years. I look forward to seeing the photographs from the trip and I'm thankful for that continued gradual return to normal school activities.
Our parent and carer survey sent last week had some very positive feedback about how we are performing as a school and how we have dealt with the pandemic. However, the majority of any comments relating to what we can do to improve are related to the wearing of face masks in the school grounds by adults. As a result, please can I reiterate that masks must be worn by all, unless exempt. Parkfield should be an environment where our staff and parents/carers feel safe and wearing a mask for the few short minutes you're on the playground will help everyone feel that little bit safer.
Today's confirmation of a positive case of coronavirus in Y6 also shows that we need to remain vigilant, even at a time when levels of coronavirus nationally are really low.
Have a wonderful weekend - isn't it nice that both Manchester football clubs can be dreaming of European glory over the next few weeks!?
Mr Kemp
