Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
As some of you may have noticed at home time today, we now have our own new recycled clothing container for school, located on our school yard. We are hoping to encourage children, parents and staff to recycle unwanted clothes, shoes and textiles whilst at the same time raising funds for the school.
All the unwanted good quality clothing is re-sold, re-used or recycled to help lessen the impact of waste management on the Environment.
We hope that the children can get involved at home by recycling any of the above items and placing in our container whilst also supporting the school and helping the environment.
The above listed items can be disposed of in the bins during pick up and drop off times. The only thing that we ask is if the container is full that items are not left outside of the bin. The container will be emptied within a couple of days if full and therefore items could be brought back at another time.
We hope to see many of the children using this facility in the future.
Thank you for your continued support.
Hello all,
We still have some raffle tickets available to buy on a first come first serve basis. There are some fantastic prizes such as a signed Hartlepool United football shirt, kindle, smellies, children's toys, various food hampers, vouchers for local businesses, bottles of Wine and Spirits and many more.
If you would like to purchase extra tickets please come to the main school office. We would advise that you wear face coverings during busy times in the reception area.
Monies raised goes towards the children's Christmas activities in school. Thank you for your continued support.
Good Luck!

Dear Y6 Parents
I wanted to update you on the current situation with our Covid outbreak.
We now have 13 confirmed cases in Y6.
Thank you so much to the vast majority of parents who shared the negative PCR results with us today, it is fabulous that we are all working together to try our best to reduce the risk of more cases.
Following a meeting with Public Health today, we have been advised to cancel all after school clubs for year 6 children for the time being.
This does not include Breakfast Club or Kidzone as these are care facilities. However the children will be kept separate to the other year groups whilst there.
I hope all those who have tested positive are feeling ok and are not experiencing too many symptoms. If we can help with anything please give us a call.
As all year groups are already kept apart in school Public Health have advised we simply continue this during the outbreak. Year 6 staff will continue to take lateral flow tests daily.
If any child in any year group displays symptoms or seems unwell please take them for a PCR test and keep them at home until a negative result is received.
Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Parents of Year 6
We have now received the staff test results we were waiting for and we can now safely staff year 6.
Please read the following carefully.
Any child who has no symptoms at all and a negative PCR can return to school this afternoon from 1pm.
If parents are happy to do so, please show the negative PCR result to staff at the office.
If you prefer, children can return tomorrow morning at normal school time and show the negative PCR to staff on the gate. We now have 12 cases across Year 6.
It is very important that we remain vigilant for symptoms. A negative PCR only tells us about that exact moment in time. If any staff or pupil have any symptoms within the 10 day period, they should have a further PCR test.
Staff from Year 6 who are in school will be taking daily lateral flow test to try and mitigate the risk.
Government guidance is that lateral flow tests should only be used for primary aged pupils at parents’ discretion whilst waiting for PCR results.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Darby
Dear Year 6 parents, we have now been informed of a number of positive cases of covid 19 in year 6. I have spoken to the local authority this morning and the advice is that everyone in year 6, staff and pupils, should not attend school tomorrow and they should have a negative PCR before they return to school. I will be discussing the situation further with the Director of Public Health tomorrow and I will be in touch with further advice. Please book a PCR as soon as you can.
Thank you
Mrs Darby
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are pleased to announce that we are all set up and ready to roll out our new school communication app that we informed you about earlier on in the school year. If you have already completed the form and returned to school with your contact details then you should receive a text message over the next couple of days from ‘TheSchoolApp’ as below:
‘Your school have given you access to receive private app messages. To verify your phone number, please follow this link https://theschoolapp.page.link/install’
Keep this message as you can use the link to set up your access to the app.
Please see below some instructions we hope will help with the set-up:
Guest Users
If you have not been given app access by school and have not been through the authentication process, you can still view TheSchoolApp as a guest user. Once you have tapped into the app through your device you will be asked if you have received an SMS invitation from the school. Tap ‘No’. This option is great for the likes of Grandparents or extended family members who want to keep up with the latest news at Kingsley, Newsletters, holiday dates etc. but haven’t been granted access for private messages.
You can find a link to a more detailed guide if required here.
If you have any problems with the set up please don’t hesitate to contact the school office on 01429 273102.
Thank you
