Friday 18th September

New Drop Off Times
Starting on Monday, the drop off time slot will change to 8.45 until 9am. This is because we have noticed that nearly all children are in school by 9am which is great as lessons can start promptly.

Collection times remain the same for now  – 2.45 until 3.15pm.

Thank you to everyone for remembering to keep 2m apart during the drop off time.

After School Club
A few working parents have asked about After School Club re-opening. We will need a few more before we can open up. Please ring the office if you would like a place for your child.

Coronavirus
Please keep your child at home if they are unwell. If your child or anyone in your house has a temperature or continuous, dry cough, you should get a test by ringing 119 or apply  online here. 8pm in the evening is often a good time to apply. While you are waiting for a test, everyone in your house should isolate.
Please let us know when you get a test result back.

Term Dates 2020-2021
You can see the year’s term dates here. St Vincent’s holidays will be slightly different to other Birmingham schools next year as we will be having a special Easter Celebration. This means a short Easter Holiday and a longer May half term holiday.

Black Lives Matter
Archbishop Bernard Longley has asked us to share with you the Bishops’ Statement on Racial Justice in response to the evil of racism and the brutal killing of George Floyd. You can read the letter here:
