Further advice for Parents regarding vaccinations for 5 - 11 year olds.
Please share the following information with parents and carers of at risk 5 to 11 year olds.
Children aged 5 to 11 years who are in a clinical risk group or who live with someone who is immunosuppressed can get the COVID-19 vaccine, in line with advice set out by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Eligible children include those with diabetes, immunosuppression, learning disabilities, and other conditions as outlined by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in the Green Book.
Vaccinations help to increase protection against COVID-19, which is particularly important for those with underlying health conditions.
Further information is available in the guide for parents of children aged 5 to 11 years published by UKHSA. We have published some frequently asked questions on the vaccination programme including information on eligibility, accessibility and advice for parents of children at high risk from COVID-19. Following advice from the JCVI, healthy 5 to 11 year old children will also be offered two 10 microgram doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The NHS will prepare to extend this non-urgent offer to all children during April.
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have received some information for parents who have clinically vulnerable children between the ages of 5 and 11.
Please see below for details regarding FAQs and vaccinations.

Dear Parents and Carers,
We have received new advice from Suffolk County Council and Public Health and Communities. The advice is going to be reviewed weekly. In this interests of transparency we have decided to put this advice on the School Website so that parents can see the basis we are making our decisions on.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Over the half term we have been notified of a number of confirmed cases of Covid 19 in Unit Three. Having contacted Suffolk's Covid team they have advised that all the children and staff within Unit Three get a PCR test prior to returning to school.
Please find below two letters. One specific to Unit Three and a second with general advice for the rest of the school.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Parents and Carers,
Please find below three documents which deal with the School's reopening at the start of the autumn term. These are a Risk Assessment, a Contingency Plan and Operational Guidance. These are intended to cover the different circumstances that we find ourselves in. Inevitably, there maybe changes during the course of the term as circumstances change.

Dear Parents and Carers,
It very much looks like Covid 19 restrictions are coming to an end and we are entering a new normal. The first newsletter of the Autumn term 2021 will have details of these new arrangements.
Please be aware that though we sincerely hope that we will now be entering a settled period of continuous education things could change. We will do our level best to keep you informed of changes before they occur.
Yours sincerely,
