• NHS Just Giving

  Thu 02 Apr 2020

  You've probably seen the news stories of front line NHS workers having to survive on minimal personal protective equipment (PPE) during the Covid-19 virus outbreak.  It has been reported that up to 25% of our front line workforce is currently self isolating, having been exposed to the virus and showing symptoms. There is a shortage of PPE, not just in the front line hospitals, but also in doctors surgeries and care homes. Design and Technology departments across the country are starting to manufacture face shields to protect workers from the infection and we would like to join them. The face shield is one of the most effective barriers for staff to use when in contact with patients.  We have 6 laser cutters at our disposal and would like to manufacture as many shields as we can over the coming weeks, just as virus infection numbers reach a peak. We have a simple but effective design that can be manufactured from two materials and assembled and delivered quickly to the key workers of Sheffield and South Yorkshire.  In order to be able to manufacture as much as possible we need your money to purchase the materials; these are 0.5mm polypropylene sheet and 0.1mm (1 micron) clear acetate, polycarbonate or PVC.  If you are a plastic supplier and are willing to donate these materials then please get in touch.  Your money will be used to help our front line workers when they need it most during this difficult time. Thank you in advance.

• Ofsted Report

  Parents praise Hallam Primary School as it is rated ‘good’ by Ofsted

   

  The latest Ofsted report, published on 11^th June, maintains Hallam Primary School as Good.

   

  The visit was the first short inspection to be carried out since the school was judged to be ‘good’ in September 2013.

   

  Over 300 parents shared their views with Ofsted prior to the report, with 99% saying that they would recommend the school to others. Parents also agreed that their children were happy, felt safe and made good progress at the school, outcomes that were echoed by Ofsted.

   

  The short inspection report highlighted that the school ‘is a happy place to come to work and learn,’ and that pupils are confident in their surroundings, approaching learning ‘with a real energy and drive to succeed.’ It also noted the effectiveness of safeguarding measures at the school. Parents' views were overwhelmingly positive. One quote from the report said: “There is a strong drive to allow children to forge memories and allow pupils to be individuals.”

   

  In September 2013, during its full inspection, Ofsted rated the school ‘good’ in all categories, including leadership and management; quality of teaching; behaviour and safety of pupils and achievements of pupils.

  Headteacher, Chris Stewart, said: “The inspection was a really positive experience and I’m delighted that the hard work of the staff team was recognised. I feel lucky to be able to lead this team and fortunate to work with such a great group of adults and children.”

   

  He continued: “We now have a clear set of objectives to work on and the team are fully committed to continuing their journey towards an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted judgement.” Hallam Primary School is a large, inclusive and welcoming primary school providing education for 621 pupils from the ages of 4 to 11. The school became part of Tapton School Academy Trust in August 2015. Angela Lant, Director of Primaries for the Trust, said: “Staff, children and parents have all worked hard over the last 2 years to ensure that the school is a great place to be.”

  “The Trust continues to work in partnership with the school and we are very happy with the progress the school is making.”

  Sports Day Success!

  Last week we had a wonderful time at the EIS for our very special Sports Day. Years 1-6 all took part in a fun filled day. The morning was spent on a number of different stations, with a variety of sports skills and fitness challenges. 

  In the afternoon we had competitive races and field events, including sprint, long jump, long run, relay and javelin. The four school houses were competing against each other.

  Congratulations to Hallamshire who won the overall competition. A massive thank you to parents for their cheering and support. What a great atmosphere!

  Be sure to check out the video highlights and photos on the PE & SPORTS page.
