Dear Parents and carers, As we draw September to a close, I want to personally thank you all for your patience, acceptance, and willingness to follow the new safety measures that we have put in place. The first few days were a steep learning curve, but we do hope that the small changes we have made ensure that our school community can continue to operate effectively at this difficult time. We are all aware from the news that we are still in very challenging times and strict adherence to social distancing is an absolute necessity to halt the spread of the virus. If you have not been wearing a mask, I do urge you to reconsider for the benefit of everyone including your children. As staff we have had to adopt this in school and ask that you replicate this at drop off and pick up times.

We also ask that you do not enter the school driveway in a vehicle. The children are using this as a pedestrian routeway, and it is a massive risk to our children's safety. Parents must park safely in the

surrounding streets and walk the short distance to school.

If you hold a current disabled badge you must present the original to the office so we can make alternative arrangements for you. This applies to breakfast club and after school club drop of and collection.

You will have received the videos from your class teachers explaining everything you need to know about your child's year group...we hope you found these useful!

Next week you will receive another video explaining how to access the homework on Teams for KS2 and See saw for KS1. Homework will be set on Thursday and will need to be submitted by the following Wednesday.

Parents will also be contacted by the class teacher to have a brief conversation about how your child has

settled in, this will be done via a phone call.

Have a wonderful weekend, maybe the last of the sun!

Mrs C Miller

School News

My name is Jude and I have just been elected as head boy for the school. I am in Year 6 and I would

like to say that we have an amazing school.

However, with my newly appointed role I would like to further improve the school by allowing everyone’s voice to be heard. In my role I will

ensure all the younger children feel safe at school especially during

these difficult times.

My name is Sheneecia. I have just been appointed the special role of head girl. I believe Corpus Christi is a wonderful school where you should

start not only your educational journey but your spiritual one too.

The characteristics I think I can bring to Corpus Christi are my level of

confidence and my focus on school goals and values. By doing this we can

assure the safety and values of the students at Corpus Christi. My true aim is to give back to the school after they

have helped me for so many years, creating moments that matter.

Meet our new head boy and girl

Some of our children in Year 5 were using drama to help them conjure up descriptions of 'The Weird Sisters' from

Macbeth

The children in Reception have all settled very well! Well done Reception. They also enjoyed their first prayer time

this week

Year 6 posting their pen pal letters to be delivered to their new pen pals at St John Fisher.

On Monday there was a near miss outside school where a car mounted the pavement and nearly hit a

child. Please park sensibly. We know that it is a big temptation to park close to the school, but the safety of

the children is paramount

Thank you to all the parents who have unquestioningly supported us with wearing masks to pick up and drop off their children at school this week. Please continue to queue and wait for your child to enable us to safely

hand over each child to their parent. Please do not call your child to come out beforehand.

Reception Tuesday

Year 6 children have taken home an important leaflet about choosing a secondary school for September 2021. Applications need to be in by Wednesday 31st October 2020. You can apply online at www.coventry.gov.uk/admissions.

Please be aware that there is a high number of applications moving through to Secondary school in the city at the current time.
