Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Hi All,
I'm sorry I haven't been able to update you this week on the situation regarding more pupils returning to school. I have been involved in long discussions with our cluster and the local authority and the situation has changed on what feels like an hourly basis. The council have tonight put out a statement saying schools in Hartlepool will not be opening on the 1st June. This is due to the fact that the level of infections in the town continues to rise. I am going to a meeting on Wednesday and I hope to be able to update you all then.
For now we continue as we are, remaining open to the children of key workers and vulnerable children.
Please be assured that when we do open we will have everyone's best interests at heart.
Mrs Darby
The impact of COVID-19 means that most of us will be at home for an extended period and are likely to be spending increasing amounts of time online. It also means that children are spending more time online than they have previously.
The link below will send you to a document and a range of resources that will support you in keeping your children safe online.
Dear Parents/Carers,
I am sure you will have seen the update given by the Prime Minister on Sunday evening. At the moment we know as much as you. We are expecting guidance to be released later this week. Please be reassured that as soon as we have any further information we will let you know.
Thank you for your patience
Mrs Darby
As it is VE day on Friday we would like to encourage you all to celebrate at home.
We are hoping that as part of the celebrations the children and their families could learn the song "We'll Meet Again" and record themselves (and their families if they are brave enough) and email it into school to be shared online.
The videos to help learn the song and the backing track for when they record themselves are available following the link below.
Maths - No Problem! Parent Guides
To all Kingsley parents/ caregivers,
Maths - No problem! Parent Guides are available to all parents/caregivers of children in Y1-Y6. It is designed to support you while children are at home. If you are not already aware, this is the scheme of work that we use in all Maths lessons at school. Your children will be very familiar with it. Before going into more detail, we would like to acknowledge that this will require time that you may not have. Therefore, it is optional!
How will it help?
It is an online version of the textbooks and workbooks that your children use at school. You will be able to:
Access maths content for your child’s year group, including lesson objectives
Find the answers to textbook and workbook questions
Get extra support as you navigate the MNP lesson structure
How can I access it?
This is not open for all schools to access. You have special authorisation as Kingsley have invested into the scheme. Therefore, you will need a login. Your child's class teacher can sort this for you - all they need is your:
forename
surname
email address.
The quickest way to do this is to email these details to the year group address located on the class pages - many of you have already been accessing this to send work. Alternatively, the teachers will be asking if you are interested in signing up when they make their weekly calls this week.
Support
We will be adding more information on the website once we have organised parent subscriptions.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please email the teachers, ask during the weekly calls or access the following link

Remember: this is an opportunity not an obligation!
During our current lock down experience and school closure (to most), some children have got no other option than to come into school. The adults here are making it as fun and educational as possible for these children.
Follow the link below to see what they have been up to.

The most important thing individuals can do to protect themselves is to wash their hands more often. Soap and water and regular handwashing for at least 20 seconds is the best way of staying safe. Hand washing with soap employs mechanical action that loosens bacteria and viruses from the skin, rinsing them into the drain. Drying hands afterwards makes the skin less hospitable to the virus. Hand sanitiser can be effective if soap is not available or the situation makes using soap less feasible (i.e. when outside) but using hand sanitiser provides none of the virus-destroying friction that rubbing your hands together and rinsing with water provides.
A video on hand washing can be found at:
