  As promised, the school is committed to listening and responding to parental views. 

   

  From the questionnaire, a  parent raised that they were unaware why their child had been awarded a certificate. 

   

  At St Giles' CE Primary School we use Trackit Lights consistently in every classroom from Nursery to Year 6.

   

  Trackit Lights is a permanent feature on every teacher’s interactive whiteboard. It’s an engaging, motivational behaviour management tool bar down the right side of the board that allows teachers to quickly log positive and negative behaviour and motivate pupils.

   

  As pupils accumulate Track-It Points they earn:

   

  200 Points = Bronze Certificate

  500 Points = Silver Certificate

  800 Points = Gold Certificate

  1000 Points = Platinum Certificate

  1500 = Diamond Certificate

   

  Points are rewarded For:

  

• West Midlands Measles Outbreak

  Mon 22 Jan 2024

  With the recent outbreaks of Measles in the West Midlands, we have been instructed by NHSE that the MMR will be offered to all School Aged Children Reception onwards in our clinics which will be held at alternative clinics and NOT in school. There will be no online link for the E-Consent and a consent on the day will be completed. 

   

  'Vaccination UK have been instructed by NHSE to administer the MMR vaccination to all school aged children who are outstanding one or both doses. The MMR would have been given at the age of 1 year and the second dose at 3 years and 4 months. There has been an outbreak of Measles in the West Midlands which has been on the rise within the last few weeks.

  Please check your child's vaccinations with their GP and if your child is outstanding one or both doses of the MMR, please contact their office on 01922 902035 to make an appointment. This will be at an alternative venue and NOT at the school'

• Wraparound Care Programme

  Wed 10 Jan 2024

  Dear Parent/Carer, 

   

  As you may be aware, the government have announced an investment of £289m for a national wraparound programme to support all families who need to access wraparound childcare. Part of the statutory duty by the local authority is to collect data for us to be able to map parental demand for wraparound childcare.

   

  Walsall Council’s Admissions & Education Sufficiency Team would like to invite you to complete a survey as part of exploring the expansion of Wraparound childcare.

   
  In the March 2023 Spring Budget, the government announced an investment of £289m for a national wraparound programme to support all families who need to access wraparound childcare.
   
  Wraparound childcare is childcare which is available from 8am to the start of the school day and from the end of the school day until 6pm. This does not include after school clubs such as choir, band, art club, football club etc.
   
  With this in mind, we would be grateful if you could complete the survey below and submit your answers by Sunday 21^st January.
