We have reviewed our risk assessments as a consequence of the increased infection rate. In order to keep everyone safe, from Monday 02nd November we are asking that all parents/carers wear face masks when dropping off and collecting children from any of our schools, or entering the school for any reason. In order to protect our bubbles and again, to keep both children and staff safe, we will be continuing with the current opening and closing times, according to the class your child is in. For the second half of the Autumn term, schools will continue to close at 1.30pm on Friday. The usual Care Club arrangements will continue as per this first half term [ Covid Symptoms Flow Chart](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/news/2020-09-29-covid-symptoms-flow-chart) [Bonfire Menu ](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/news/2020-11-03-bonfire-menu) ### Events, Blogs & Galleries - [Calendar](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/calendar) - [News](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/events) - [Gallery](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [Blogs](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/news-events/blogs) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
