I must start with sharing my congratulations to Ms Barker who gave birth to a baby girl earlier this term. Both mother and baby are doing very well and I know the students will be looking forward to meeting her when she comes into school.

Claires Court Jubilee Tree Canopy Unveiled
We are delighted to have launched our new initiative to celebrate both our School Diamond Jubilee and HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year.  Remember the deadline for purchasing a legacy tree, with your family name on it, is Monday 18 October and we have almost reached our one hundred tree capacity.  Please take a look at how you can get involved in this exciting project in our news story here. 

Menus & Dining 
After half term we will be moving to a two weekly cycle for menus due to the supply chain issues we are experiencing. Please also be aware that the menus may need to change without notice due to these issues. Thank you for your understanding.

ALL YEAR GROUPS

Wishing all our pupils and parents a relaxing half term holiday and we look forward to seeing you all back on Monday 1 November.

Flu Immunisations & Covid-19 Vaccinations
For those that missed the deadline to consent for Flu and/or Covid-19, please see the process to follow now from NHS Berkshire School-aged Immunisations Team:
 
Any parents wishing to consent for the flu will need to wait until 24 hours after the session when the school consents will be reopened. They will then need to complete a form using the original information sent from the school (electronic consent form school code BK110153B) and wait for the link to be emailed to them to book into one of our catch up clinics.
 
Any parents that have missed the deadline to consent for Covid will need to wait until further national guidance is released as we currently do not have any planned catch up clinics for the Covid vaccination.


LFT and PCR Testing
Please ensure your daughter is Lateral Flow Testing twice weekly and reporting results via the GOV.UK website. Please remember LFTs are for asymptomatic testing only, so if your daughter is displaying any of three main covid symptoms (temperature, cough or loss of smell), they must take a PCR test and should not come into school until you have received the results. Please inform the school of PCR test results once received on girls@clairescourt.com. Thank you.

The Big Ask…and The Big Answer
Earlier this year, The Children’s Commissioner asked all children in England to complete a survey, to show the true voice of this generation. The results are in and The Children’s Commissioner would like to say thank you. Over half a million children responded, the largest survey of its kind in history, and at a landmark moment for young people growing up in this country.

Children were united – they told us they want to get back to school, to get on, and do well. To have fulfilling lives. Children cared deeply about their family, their communities, their wellbeing and are an ambitious, excited generation. They want to make a contribution to a better world, a greener world, rooted in fairness of opportunity for everyone. Please read more here.

If your daughter gets the bus there will be a bus departing from Braywick to the senior boys site in order for your daughter to get the connecting bus.
