• National Burns Awareness Day

  Wed 14 Oct 2020

  Today is National Burns Awareness Day.

   

  There are some frightening statistics on how many children receive burns in the house every day.  Today, we are going to think about how we could try and prevent them.  Through some simple changes and constantly thinking about the dangers less of our children could suffer from these life long injuries.

  My own daughter received a burn from a hot drink and required intensive treatment in hospital and now, 6 years on is still a regular visitor to the Manchester Children's hospital.

  Over the next few days I will be sharing some flyers and advice to help you to protect your children.

• Oldham Update

  Sun 02 Aug 2020

  New Public Health guidance issued for Oldham as positive test rates increase

  We have asked the people of Oldham to stick to the Coronavirus restrictions to help protect themselves, their friends and their families.

   

  To help halt the spread of the virus, save lives, and avoid local lockdown we issued the guidance below for Oldham residents and businesses. This guidance will continue for the next two weeks.

   

  We asked residents to not have social visitors to their home, and to keep two metres apart from friends and family when seeing them outside. People who are “shielding” are asked to continue to take extra care beyond July 31st.

   

  This comes after the number of cases of Coronavirus increased over the last week. Oldham had 119 cases in the seven days to 25 July. By comparison the week ending 17 July had 26 positive cases. 

   

  This means a current rate 50.2 positive tests per 100,000 versus 10.2 per 100,000 the week before. This rate is well above Greater Manchester and national averages.

   

  The restrictions mean that:

  • To reduce spread between households, people should not have social visitors in their home, outside of those in support bubbles
  • To protect older and vulnerable people, care homes will not relax restrictions on visiting
  • Those who are shielding should continue to take extra care 

   

  A significant proportion of recent cases involve multiple individuals testing positive within a household, showing that household spread is an issue – especially in households with large families.

   

  To help avoid a local lockdown please share this message with residents.

• Public Notice : Admissions

  Fri 17 Jul 2020

  Public Notice

   

  St Thomas’ C E Primary School Oldham - Notification of Proposed Variation to Admission Arrangements for Admission to Reception in September 2021

   

  As a result of measures taken nationally to combat COVID-19, places of worship have been closed since 17^thMarch 2020.

   

  As a school with a religious character, this school’s admission arrangements include faith-based oversubscription criteria involving attendance at public worship.  These faith-based oversubscription criteria cannot now be satisfied without amendment, and St Thomas’ C E  Primary School, as the admission authority for the school, is proposing a variation to the admission arrangements because of this major change in circumstances.

   

  Further information can be found in the policies section on the school’s website:

• Summer Home Learning Letter

  Tue 14 Jul 2020 Mr I Shearsmith

  14th July 2020

   

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  As we approach the summer holiday we are all certainly ready for a break! We realise, however, that some of you would like to continue with some learning over the summer and we can help you with this.

   

  The school has been provided with some learning resources which you can use with your children over the summer. We have shared these on our website and they can be found using the following link:

   

  https://www.stthomaswernethprimary.co.uk/summer-home-learning/

   

  Some parents have asked us to keep open the Seesaw accounts over the summer so they can complete learning which has been put on during the last months. There will be no new work set and staff will not be marking or commenting on any work submitted. But the previous work is there for you to access if you’d like it.

   

  Seesaw accounts will be archived at the end of August. In September you’ll get a new log in for your child’s new class.

   

  Please do not feel under any obligation to complete these; they are simply there for your own use if you’d like them.

   

  With best wishes,

   

  Mrs Angela Knowles
  Head teacher
