  We have had confirmation this morning that our risk assessment for the phased re-opening of school has been passed by Walsall Council. As such ONLY children who have been allocated a place and had this confirmed in a letter will be able to return to school on Tuesday 2nd June. No other children will be able to attend until further notice.

  We will let you know if anything changes. Thank you

• Swan House Care Home

  Wed 13 May 2020 Mrs Westbury

  As you know I have been on a mission with you all to let the residents of Swan House know that we are thinking of them even though we can't visit them at the moment. 

   

  The residents have absolutely loved receiving the children's pictures and messages. It is really making their day. 

   

  Below is just one of the messages that I have received from the people working at Swan House.

   

  "Thank you so much for all your help in making this difficult time much easier and happier for our residents here and of course to the children in your school too.   Again thank you our love to you all and the pupils KEEP SAFE!"

   

  You have honestly made such a difference and made these wonderful people smile every day. I am also including some pictures of some of their residents looking at the first lot of pictures I sent in and you can read some of the comments they made to their care workers.

   

  Unfortunately I have now completely run out of pictures to send to Swan House. If you could possibly send a drawing, message or picture of something that you have been doing at home then I know that the residents and I will really appreciate it.

   

  Please send any pictures that you would like me to send to Swan House via email to lwestbury@invention-i.walsall.sch.uk

   

  Thank you again to everyone that has taken part so far you are really making a difference!

• Update for parents

  Mon 11 May 2020 Mrs Naffati

  Dear Parents

  I hope you, your children and wider families are all well and managing in these very challenging times. Even though it is not easy as parents we can all only do our best in such tricky situations.

  As you will all have seen last night the Government have begun to think about how we may come out of this present Lockdown. As yet we do not have any more information than you about what this will look like and when exactly it will begin (despite the 1^st June date being announced).

  At the moment we are still closed to all children except for Key Workers and other vulnerable children.

  As we know more I will pass on plans to you all, remember if you need more emotional support you can phone school, there is always a Senior Leader in the building to take your call should you need it.

  Many thanks for your patience and I look forward to a day when we can all see one another again. Be good kids I miss you all terribly!

  With love and hugs

  Mrs Naffati xxx

• VE Day

  Thu 07 May 2020 Mrs Westbury

  Today our children in school have learnt all about why we are celebrating VE Day tomorrow. They have worked really hard to make some VE day decorations for everyone to see as they pass the school gates. We hope you like them. Maybe you could make some decorations for your homes and send in some pictures to share with us.

   

  We hope you have a lovely and safe bank holiday to celebrate VE Day!

   

  Take care everyone!

   

  Mrs Westbury :-)
