Pembrokeshire County Council Childcare arrangements

Pembrokeshire County Council is introducing a Childcare hub-based model for critical workers and the families of vulnerable learners.

The move follows the UK Government’s restrictions placed on movement this week and the need for greater social distancing measures.

From 30 March 2020, Childcare will only be available to eligible critical workers and at specific locations within the county.

Please book at Covid19childcarebookings@pembrokeshire.gov.uk

Places must be booked online – and children from vulnerable families will be contacted by a key worker and offered places.

Each setting will be open from 8:00am to 4:00pm until 20 April, after which time all settings will be open from 7:00am – 6:00pm. The online Childcare booking applications will be processed centrally on a weekly basis.

There will be no option to turn up without a confirmed booking as most critical workers will know their shifts in advance.

The advice remains to stay at home wherever possible in order to maintain social distancing.

Each setting will have a maximum number of places.

Children 3 -11 can attend the primary settings below:

Pembroke Dock:

Templeton:

Monkton:

Tenby VC:

Prendergast:

Milford Haven Community Primary meads site:

We are all understandably feeling a bit unsettled by events at the moment; one way to distract ourselves, and a proven boost to our wellbeing and mental health, as well as a great way of keeping our minds active, is to lose ourselves in a good book!

Ysgol Harri Tudur pupils and staff don't need to worry if they have books on loan from the school library – all the dates have been automatically extended until we’re back in school. Just take the time to relax and enjoy your reading!

Our Librarian, Mrs Smith, has put together some recommendations for reading-related activities, videos, author and illustrator websites, suggested good reads, etc.

• View recommendations now

Although our Library may be physically closed, Mrs Smith is happy to help with any questions regarding reading for pleasure, book recommendations, research and study skills, and print and online information sources. Just get in touch.

I’d like to thank parents for listening to the advice and keeping most children at home. I’d be grateful if tomorrow morning( Tuesday ) you only use schools or childcare as a last resort.

The advice has not changed as a result of tonight’s decision to further restrict movement, which our First Minister, along with other UK leaders took with the sole aim of slowing the spread of coronavirus.

Children should be at home wherever possible, critical workers will still need to have safe care arrangements for their children. Our schools and childcare settings are providing a vital service to support critical workers and our most vulnerable children.

Those involved in the current arrangements looking after children should continue. Many thanks to our amazing teaching and childcare professionals for their commitment in this time of national need.

This situation will continue for the immediate term but we will be reviewing with healthcare professionals, local authorities and our teaching unions.

Datganiad gan Kirsty Williams, Gweinidog dros Addysg

Hoffwn ddiolch i rhieni am wrando ar y cyngor a chadw'r rhan fwyaf o blant gartref. Byddwn yn ddiolchgar bore fory os fyddech ond yn defnyddio ysgolion neu ofal plant fel dewis olaf.

Nid yw'r cyngor wedi newid o ganlyniad i'r penderfyniad heno i gyfyngu ymhellach ar symud, penderfyniad a gymrwyd gan ein Prif Weinidog, ynghyd ag arweinwyr eraill y DU, gyda’r nod o arafu lledaeniad coronafeirws.

Dylai plant fod gartref lle bynnag y bo'n bosibl. Bydd angen o hyd i weithwyr critigol gael trefniadau gofal diogel ar gyfer eu plant. Mae ein hysgolion a'n lleoliadau gofal plant yn darparu gwasanaeth hanfodol i gefnogi gweithwyr critigol a'r plant sydd fwyaf agored i niwed.

Dylai'r rhai sy'n ymwneud â'r trefniadau presennol barhau i ofalu am blant. Diolch yn fawr i'n gweithwyr addysgu a gofal plant anhygoel am eu hymrwymiad yn y cyfnod hwn o angen cenedlaethol.

Bydd y sefyllfa hon yn parhau am y tymor byr ond byddwn yn adolygu gyda gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol, awdurdodau lleol a'n hundebau athrawon.

Over the next three days, Tuesday March 24th, Wednesday March 25th and Thursday March 26th, we will be delivering sanitary period products to all of our girls. We will not disturb you and will leave labelled parcels wherever we can. We hope that this will be helpful in the months to come.

Dear InvestIN Community,

InvestIN was founded on the premise that young people should be excited about the future; a future that they can shape themselves, if they are just given the right time and attention by successful people who want to inspire others.

Amidst the problems caused by Covid-19, we must do all we can to empower the next generation to take ownership over their futures.

InvestIN therefore calls upon all ambitious young people to join our 'Compassion and Action Movement'.

We invite students aged 12-18 to deliver the most inspiring and creative message of hope they can muster. For each entry we receive, we shall make a donation to the World Health Organisation's Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund. By contributing to our movement you will therefore help improve both mental and physical health, through messages of hope and assistance to experts who are working tirelessly to find solutions.

ENTER NOW

Students can enter now by clicking here. The deadline for entries is 5pm on Sunday April 5th.

Students' entries can be in any form: a video, mood board, poem, piece of art - whatever allows them to best express themselves! Entries should be based on a theme of 'Compassion and Action.' Our judges will select a shortlist of the best ones. We will then compile a 'Compassion and Action' collage of these winning entries, which will be circulated to more than 300,000 teachers, parents and students globally, with the names of the winners fully-credited.

Priority Childcare Information Required by 1300 hrs today (Friday 20th March 2020)

For Parents/Guardians/Carers

I appreciate that many of you are working and it is difficult to reply to the emails we are having to send. This email requires an immediate response in order that appropriate procedures can be put in place.

The county council will continue to provide care for a limited number of children whose parents are classed as ‘key workers’ however, where possible, every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

Parents whose work is critical to the COVID-19 response include those who work in health and social care and in other key sectors outlined below.

KEY MESSAGES TO CONSIDER WHEN MAKING YOUR DECISION

1. If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be.

2. If a child needs specialist support, is vulnerable or has a parent who is a critical worker, then educational provision will be available for them.

3. Parents should not rely for childcare upon those who are advised to be in the stringent social distancing category such as grandparents, friends, or family members with underlying conditions.

4. Parents should also do everything they can to ensure children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus. They should observe the same social distancing principles as adults.

5. Special settings continue to care for children wherever possible.

If your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and you cannot keep your child safe at home then your children will be prioritised for education provision:

Health and social care

This includes but is not limited to doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, social workers, care workers, and other frontline health and social care staff including volunteers; the support and specialist staff required to maintain the UK’s health and social care sector; those working as part of the health and social care supply chain, including producers and distributors of medicines and medical and personal protective equipment.

Education and childcare

This includes nursery and teaching staff, social workers and those specialist education professionals who must remain active during the COVID-19 response to deliver this approach.

Key public services

This includes those essential to the running of the justice system, religious staff, charities and workers delivering key frontline services, those responsible for the management of the deceased, and journalists and broadcasters who are providing public service broadcasting.

Local and national government

This only includes those administrative occupations essential to the effective delivery of the COVID-19 response or delivering essential public services such as the payment of benefits, including in government agencies and arms length bodies.

Food and other necessary goods

This includes those involved in food production, processing, distribution, sale and delivery as well as those essential to the provision of other key goods (for example hygienic and veterinary medicines).

Public safety and national security

This includes police and support staff, Ministry of Defence civilians, contractor and armed forces personnel (those critical to the delivery of key defence and national security outputs and essential to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic), fire and rescue service employees (including support staff), National Crime Agency staff, those maintaining border security, prison and probation staff and other national security roles, including those overseas.

Transport

This includes those who will keep the air, water, road and rail passenger and freight transport modes operating during the COVID-19 response, including those working on transport systems through which supply chains pass.

Utilities, communication and financial services

This includes staff needed for essential financial services provision (including but not limited to workers in banks, building societies and financial market infrastructure), the oil, gas, electricity and water sectors (including sewerage), information technology and data infrastructure sector and primary industry supplies to continue during the COVID-19 response, as well as key staff working in the civil nuclear, chemicals, telecommunications (including but not limited to network operations, field engineering, call centre staff, IT and data infrastructure, 999 and 111 critical services), postal services and delivery, payments providers and waste disposal sectors.

If you fall into one of the categories above please contact the school IMMEDIATELY on 01646 682461 or 01646 623314 by 1300 hrs today, outlining why you qualify so that we are aware that your child/children require care. Please provide us with the following details;

• Parent name;
• Occupation;
• Employer;
• Name of Child;

Please note, that the provision will be established as a child care provider not a learning organisation. I cannot stress the importance of the clear message given by Government that where possible, every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

I would like to thank everyone for your support, cooperation and understanding in what is a very challenging situation for everyone. Throughout this week and previous to this, we, as a school have worked tirelessly to maintain a positive learning environment for all our pupils.

In light of the current Covid19 situation, Pembrokeshire Music Service have created a secure digital learning platform for all learners to access continued music provision (via Hwb).

The ‘PMS Learning Zone’ includes links to a variety of tutorials and resources which will hopefully encourage pupils to continue to practice their instruments at home. It also provides a ‘fun zone’ with links to entertaining music videos and performances.

Importantly, the platform is for all students to access, whether or not they currently gain tuition from the Music Service. The learning zone will provide resources across all instrument families and grades (from pre grade 1 to grade 8).

The platform is now ‘live’! However please note that this fantastic resource has only been created within the last 7 days and will evolve and grow in the days and weeks to come as Music Service staff populate the learning zone with new material.

Any queries about ‘PMS Learning Zone’, please feel free to get in touch with the music service via music.service@pembrokeshire.gov.u

As a parent, if you should become worried or concerned about the welfare of a child and wish to report this, please contact the NSPCC or inform safeguarding@yht.wales at your earliest convenience.

We know that the uncertainty around the Coronavirus will be causing you all worry. I hope that this decision will help to provide you reassurance that we are doing all that we can to keep children safe whilst also protecting their educational interests.

Welsh Government has just announced that all schools in Wales will close by Friday March 20th

Above all else, I want you to know that I am keeping the health and wellbeing of your child and of my school staff at the very heart of all my decision making and that we take our responsibilities very seriously.

I will also take the opportunity to inform you once again that there are no confirmed cases of Coronavirus at Ysgol Harri Tudur/Henry Tudor School.

There are a number of our pupils, families and school staff who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19. These include those with underlying health conditions, those who are pregnant, those who are elderly and those who have caring responsibilities. Likewise, there are many young people learning here, who are anxious about the impact of this disease on their examinations, their outcomes and their future life chances. I not only want but need to balance the needs of everyone in the best way that I can.

Therefore, I have made the decision to close Ysgol Harri Tudur/Henry Tudor School for pupils and students with effect from Wednesday 18th March at 3.15pm, in light of rapidly rising pupil and staff absences over the past couple of days.

Our website (not social media) will provide vital and important updates - especially for pupils due to take examinations.

Our staff will be in school on Thursday and Friday to prepare for our virtual learning environment.

My best wishes go to you all.

Today, Kirsty Williams, the Minister for Education, called for everyone’s help to slow down the spread of coronavirus in Wales.

'''The clear message to all childcare and education settings it that they should remain open at this stage. These decisions are based on the latest scientific evidence.

We recognise new guidance on Coronavirus that members of the public should stay at home for seven days if they develop either a high temperature or a new continuous cough has the potential to cause staffing pressures on schools and public bodies. We are keeping this position under review, and the latest advice will be communicated to teachers and parents through the usual channels.'

Friday 13th March 9.30am

Key messages from today - Delay the spread of Coronavirus

• if you have symptoms of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 7 days from when your symptoms started
• this action will help protect others in your community whilst you are infectious
• stay at least 2 metres (about 3 steps) away from other people in your home whenever possible
• sleep alone, if that is possible
• wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, each time using soap and water
• stay away from vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions as much as possible
• you do not need to call NHS 111 to go into self-isolation. If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or are no better after 7 days contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111 For a medical emergency dial 999

The planned trip to Manchester City, leaving early on Friday March 13th has been postponed in light of greater escalating risks associated with COVID-19 this week and the UK moving towards greater control and delay measures.

We are very sorry for the disappointment that we know this will cause to our pupils and their families. We hope to try to reschedule this at a later date.

The UK Government has this afternoon moved into taking additional precautions with regard to delaying the spread of Coronavirus.

The relevant points for us are:

• Schools in the UK are not being advised to close at present. At the moment, a school will only close if it advised to do so by Public Health Wales.
• From Friday 13th March, any pupils or staff who have mild symptoms must stay at home for at least 7 days. Use the NHS Wales website or call 111.
• More serious symptoms will require a call to 111 or 999
• All visitors to our school will be asked to wash their hands at our visitor facilities
• All of our pupils are being regularly reminded about the need for regular, proper hand washing, we have plenty of stocks of soap (and toilet paper) which are being regularly checked four times a day in all pupil and staff toilets.

Guidance on Keeping the School New 3G Pitch in Top Condition

After Autumn half term Ysgol Harri Tudur will gain access to a new 3G sports pitch. Built on the site of the former Pembroke School, this artificial sports surface, for rugby and football only, provides a top class facility.  But it will need to be looked after, in particular with pupils wearing the correct footwear.

The document below provides further details on what is allowed and, more importantly, what is not; note in particular running spikes and metal studs will ruin the surface as will dropping chewing gum on the pitch.  Please help the school keep the pitch in perfect condition.

We are exceptionally proud of our pupils’ successes and we wish all our Year 11 pupils, whether they are progressing to Sixth Form, college, undertaking further education or securing apprenticeships or employment, the very best of fortune in their future endeavours. Best of luck to you all.

Please ensure you follow the direction markers on the road within the school Main Car Park. This will assist effective traffic control and help to avoid accidents.

At all times please ensure vehicle speed is kept to no more than 10 mph.
