  As the pandemic took charge, schools throughout the nation were closed on Friday 20 March only allowing vulnerable children and children of key workers to remain in school.

   

  During the lockdown, schools and children alike have been faced with huge challenges. Whilst some kids may have been prepared with 1 or 2 exercise books and homework packs, others introduced entirely new home learning systems like this school. The team behind the Mount Stewart schools have worked so hard to keep their children learning in the class as well as from home online by setting structured systems, the use of Google Classrooms, Zoom calls, videos and lots of other resources to facilitate learning at home throughout this difficult time.

   

  This week, Primary schools across England gradually open up for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children. Without a doubt, the Mount Stewart Schools will have implemented enviable methods and structures to ensure everyone’s safety, well-being and the best learning experience.

   

  Executive Headteacher Carley Holliman states:

• Keeping our children safe

  Mon 06 Jan 2020

  Dear Parents and Carers

  We all wish to keep our children safe both in school and out.  Over the last few weeks parents driving and parking dangerously has put many of our children at risk of serious harm.

   

  We have a one-way system that will aid the smooth flow of traffic.  Please use it.

   

  We have double yellow lines and yellow zigzag lines to indicate where NOT to park.  It is illegal to park on these lines around a school.  Brent traffic enforcement will be continuing to work with us and will fine offenders.  

   

  School staff will ask you to move your car if you park dangerously.  Parents may ask you to move your car if you park dangerously.  They do not deserve to be spoken to with aggression or rudeness.  They would not be asking if you had made a positive decision.  As a community we put safety before convenience!   

   

  PLEASE DRIVE AND PARK SAFELY AT ALL TIMES

• Pencil cases and stationery

  Thu 07 Feb 2019

  Dear Parents and Carers

   

  We are conscious that many children are currently bringing pencil cases and stationery equipment into school and that it would be useful to clarify the equipment that they need to have available. It is also an area that the school would find it very useful to have supplied by parents, in order to focus our resources on the things that can only be provided through the school.

   

  These items should be in a simple pencil case, that is clearly labelled and does not have games or novelties attached to it (otherwise these cause considerable distraction in lesson time).

   

  The list below explains what items it would be helpful for your child to have available to them in their pencil case. 
   

  If your child is in KS1 (Years 1 and 2):

  ·         2 x HB pencils

  ·         Pencil sharpener

  ·         Ruler for underlining – ideally a 15cm (6") or folding ruler would be ideal – so that it fits inside the case (Maths rulers will be provided)

  ·         Rubber (we prefer children to neatly cross out errors, but there are some occasions when rubbers are useful)

  ·         Glue stick (good quality)

  ·         Green handwriting pen for editing work (a biro is acceptable but not gel pens and not fluorescent green).

  ·         Separate pencil case with colouring pencils as an optional extra

   

   

  If your child is in KS2 (Years 3 to 6):

  ·         2 x HB pencils

  ·         Pencil sharpener

  ·         Ruler for underlining – ideally a 15cm (6") or folding ruler would be ideal – so that it fits inside the case (maths rulers will be provided)

  ·         Rubber (we prefer children to neatly cross out errors, but there are some occasions when rubbers are useful)

  ·         Green handwriting pen for editing work (a biro is acceptable but not gel pens and not fluorescent green)

  ·         Small rounded end scissors

  ·         Glue stick – the cheaper ones aren’t very sticky and don’t last too well!

  ·         A5 jotter/notebook (this is for rough work, planning, ideas etc. and can be personalised by your child)

  ·         Separate pencil case with colouring pencils as an optional extra

   

  In KS2, handwriting pens will be provided by the school once children have been awarded their pen license.

   

  Regards
