Hollydale News
Hollydale Newsletter: 25th September 2020
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you for your continued co-operation and support with ensuring children have been able to return safely and happily
to Hollydale School. The children have really settled into their classes and it has been a pleasure to see them in school so
happy and confident. Our attendance for the beginning of the year has been improving – thank you. As we continue to live
in these uncertain times, we fully understand that there may be some anxieties amongst families around the recent
increase in Coronavirus cases across the country. Please be mindful that everyone at school is working tirelessly to ensure
children are kept as safe as possible so they can access school education, and if children are sent home; we are following
government guidance and we need your support.
Please do not send your child in to school if they have any of the symptoms of Covid-19. I would like to direct you to the
following NHS link, which provides you with details of the steps you should take if your child has symptoms of Covid-19, or
if in fact, you are uncertain of what you should do, or are unsure of any symptoms. This sits along the procedures that we
are following in school.

Parental Documents
This week we sent out a number of documents for you to read, agree, sign and return. I am aware it was a lot of
information, if you have any questions, do please ask. We are sending home paper copies today for you to return next
week.
Home Learning
We have been looking into how we will support children who are at home self-isolating to not lose out on their education
but in a way that is also manageable for our teachers. Please look at the class pages on the school website for links to
support remote home learning: https://hollydale.continio.co.uk/curriculum/
This term we have issued 23 laptops to pupils due to the generous funding received from the Newcomen Collett
Foundation.
Breakfast and After School Club
Please inform the school office via telephone or email, if any contact numbers have changed. It is very important we have
the correct phone numbers on our system in case of emergencies and to keep parents updated of Coronavirus
communications.
School Organisation
In order to comply with Covid-19 guidance, we have adjusted some of our daily routines and organisation.
School Uniform – Children will be required to wear clean school uniform.
Pencil Cases - Children should not bring any pencil cases, pens, pencils etc into school. They will have their own pack in
school.
PE Kit - This must be worn to school with black trainers on the allocated day of your child’s PE lesson.
Water Bottles – These must be bought to school DAILY. They must be brought home at the end of the school day for
washing.
Jeans for Genes and Macmillan Cancer Support
Thank you to all of our families for supporting these charities. We raised £70 for Jeans for Genes and £90 for Macmillan
Cancer Research.
My youngest daughter Hannah is now 16 and is in sixth form college working hard. We still go to Dulwich Park every
Sunday and this weekend we will be going to collect conkers and leaves for our nature table! I hope you too have an
exciting and restful weekend with your family.
Take care and stay safe,
Ms Reema Reid- Headteacher
Thought of the Week
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go
through it or work around it. Michael Jordan

Hollydale’s Highlights
This term seems to be moving at an incredible pace, I can’t believe we are at the end of week 4. I have been super
