Total Trust Tutors

Mon 22 Mar 2021

You may look to a tutor to assist in improving your child’s educational development. If this is the case we have put together some guidance around choosing a tutor and supporting you into keeping your child safe after school.

Do

Do check the tutors qualifications
Do undertake background checks, including reference from last employer
Do speak to other parents who provide recommendations
Do ensure the sessions take place at your home and are visible to you
Do make sure you and your child feel comfortable with the tutor
Do challenge any practice you feel is inappropriate or harmful
Do make sure any communication from the tutor goes through you and not your child
Do do maintain boundaries - tutors are professionals you are paying for a service

Don’t:

Don’t assume the tutor has had background checks
Don’t ignore if your child says they are not happy with the tutor
Don’t leave your child alone with tutors whilst you are out / not around
Don’t accept the tutor’s word; ask to see evidence of qualifications
Don’t allow your child and tutor to have each others their personal number / email / social media
Don’t allow your child to meet the tutor outside of sessions
Don’t accept practice or behaviour from the tutor that you feel is harmful, unsafe or unprofessional

Don’t accept that a DBS check means someone is safe to work with children, if something does not feel right you should check or report:

- Communicate with your child

- Share information with the Local Authority Designated officer (LADO)

- Report concerns to the police

Letter from Headteacher regarding Covid Guidelines

Mon 15 Mar 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am writing to you in the unfortunate circumstance that some families are still not following the Government guidance for Covid 19. Please can I ask that all parents work with each other and with school to ensure that this does not continue to happen. We are nearly 12 months into the global pandemic. Therefore can I please remind you of the vital information that can ensure that we don’t have to close any more year group bubbles:

Pupils should self-isolate and not come to school if they:

Have Covid-19 symptoms or have tested positive
Live with someone who has symptoms or has tested positive
Are a close contact of someone who has tested positive
Have returned to the country and are in a period of 10 day quarantine

Covid 19 Symptoms – any ONE or all of these symptoms

High temperature: any new high temperature where your child feels hot to touch on their chest or back
A new continuous cough: coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
A loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste

Lateral Flow Tests

These tests (which can be carried out at home) should ONLY be used on individuals who have no symptoms (asymptomatic) of Covid 19. If an individual has any of the symptoms of Covid 19 then a test should be booked at an official test site. If your child is sent home from school with symptoms of Covid 19, a test should be booked via the gov.uk website or by telephoning 119.

Stay at Home guidance – current Government advice

Coronavirus (Covid 19) remains a serious threat across the country.
Do not leave your home unless necessary.
1 in 3 people who have the virus have no symptoms, so you could be spreading it without knowing it.

I am sure you are as keen as all our staff and pupils are for children to be in school as much as possible to catch up on all the learning that has been missed.

Thank you to those parents who are doing their best to follow guidance.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Pridgeon

Headteacher
