Welcome to Dallimore Primary and Nursery School. The staff and I hope to provide a rich educational experience and a happy time for your child while they are with us. We would also like you to be an involved partner in the education of your child and, as a parent/ carer you will be made welcome in our school at any time.
 Have a lovely weekend everyone Mrs C x TWICE WEEKLY TESTING OF SCHOOL STAFF You may or may not be aware that from Monday 25th January all STAFF in primary schools are invited to participate in twice weekly Covid testing using a 'lateral flow test'. Participation is optional. In short, this is a Covid test, administered at home, which indicates either a negative presence of the virus or a possible positive. If a positive test is shown then staff must isolate and book a full Covid test to confirm this. The reason for this testing is to try and identify anyone who may be carrying the virus but showing no symptoms (asymptomatic). Data shows that approx 1 in 3 positive cases show no symptoms. Anyone with a confirmed positive test will have to isolate in line with the Gov.uk guidance. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL then you need to be aware that this may potentially cause unavoidable disruption to our daily provision: ie if a adult from your child's bubble records a positive test, and has recently been in school, then it is likely that the bubble WILL NOT attend until confirmation has been received with a follow up test. I have asked staff to submit their results by 8.00am (they take approx 35mins) so that we can let parents know asap if they need to keep their children at home. I appreciate this may cause further disruption and we are hoping that this will be kept to a minimum. If you have any questions about this I will do my best to answer them. Thanks Mrs C x It’s Workout Wednesday time.  Workout Wednesdays are back 😊  STRUGGLING WITH MOBILE DATA ALLOWANCE? There are two options for you to get some FREE data: 1.
