Headteacher’s Welcome

On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to St. Philip’s Church of England Primary School. I am very proud to be the Head teacher here at St. Philip’s and I am delighted that you have chosen our school.

We are very much looking forward to working in partnership with you over the forthcoming years.

If you have not already had the opportunity to come to look at our school in action during the school day, our classrooms are hives of activity, full of creativity, learning and laughter, making our school an exciting place to be.

It is our school’s priority that the education your child receives here will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phase of their education. However, it is equally important that all our children are constantly immersed in wonderful experiences that allow them to grow into enthusiastic and successful individuals.

Our Web site provides all of the information that you may need, but should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the school office where the team would be very happy to help you.

Kind regards,

– Mrs S Jamieson

Free School Meals – Be aware of scam emails

The DfE have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

DfE have confirmed that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge you to inform parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.

Covid-19

31st May 2020

Dear Parents / Carers,

A member of staff has been in contact with someone who has subsequently been tested as positive for Covid 19. No one in school is exhibiting symptoms, however as a precaution, we have decided to close St Philip’s for 2 weeks. The school is now scheduled to re-open on the 15th June.

The teachers will continue to provide planning and activities on the website for the children not in school and the class email continues to be open for any questions or queries about the work provided.

We will continue to support your children both academically and pastorally, and our school remains at the heart of our community.

Remember, if you have any concerns about helping your child learn or you need any other support from the school, please let us know by emailing myself:

s.jamieson@st-philips.manchester.sch.uk

Or, Ms Valentine – c.valentine@st-philips.manchester.sch.uk

Free School Meals

We have already made arrangements with our FSM families.

From 23rd March, the Council has also set up a scheme to help with food costs for families who are facing additional financial challenges due to the Covid 19 virus.

To qualify your family must be Manchester residents or supported by the Homelessness Service. The criteria is:

Children and young people who meet the criteria for free school meals (where the school have not got other arrangements in place);
Children and young people who are classed as an asylum seeker; and
Children and young people whose family has been hardest hit by the recent issues
and may be waiting for benefits to be assessed or have a gap in their income due to
being laid off etc.

The contribution towards a lunchtime meal is £1.75 per day (£8.75 per week) for each child or young person in the household.

The Council will be able to pay this money within a few days by the following methods

A bank transfer into a nominated bank account
A secure text message that can be used to access cash from a range of Paypoint outlets in the city
A voucher that can be printed and can then be exchanged for cash from a range of Paypoint outlets in the city.

To make an application please submit a request via the Council’s Welfare Provision Scheme
