We have had a request from people that work for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust as part of the colleague Engagement Team. They’re the people that look after the staff who look after the patients. They have seen all the fabulous rainbows, poems and thank you cards that all our wonderful children have been designing and they would love to have them in Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax. Please find attached a special mission for you. Send your work to: Rainbows at CHFT Workforce & Organisational Development  Acre Mill Acre Street Huddersfield HD3 3EB Happy crafting :-)

There have been some changes to the Healthy Start National Scheme application process in light of the current COVID-19 situation to make accessing the scheme easier for families. In this current situation schemes like Healthy Start are even more essential. Healthy Start is a national scheme that eligible families can access to get monetary vouchers to put towards fruit, vegetables, cow’s milk & baby milk. They will also receive a voucher for maternal & child vitamin supplements. Families will qualify for Healthy Start if ‘Mum to be’ is at least 10 weeks pregnant or there is a child under four years old and the family are in receipt of one or more of the following benefits: *Income Support *Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance *Income-related Employment and Support Allowance *Child Tax Credit with a family income of £16,190 or less per year *Pension Credit; or *Universal Credit with no earned income or total earned income of £408 or less per month for the family. (To find this refer to your Universal Credit award notice in the section “your take home pay for this month”.) From 06/04/2020, eligible families can now apply for the Healthy Start National Scheme online by filling in an electronic application form – Applications will no longer require authorisation from a health professional. In the meantime the 0-19 Health & Wellbeing Service are working on how to ensure that vitamins are even easier to access with the vouchers. Please see link for the online application form: https://www.healthystart.nhs.uk/healthy-start-vouchers/how-to-apply/online-application-form/ As always, if you need any support with this, please email schoolclosure@paddockjinschool.co.uk stating your child's name and class.

Hello all, We hope you are well and staying safe. Following recent government announcements in regards to Free School Meal (FSM) vouchers, schools across Kirklees have been authorised to distribute supermarket vouchers to the value of £15 per child, per week, for the 2 weeks of the Easter holidays. For clarity, this is for children in receipt of FSM not those receiving Universal Free School Meals (ie. those children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 unless they meet the Pupil Premium criteria). The families who are eligible for these vouchers, will already have received correspondence from school about them. Should you require any further information, please email schoolclosure@paddockjinschool.co.uk stating your child's name and class as part of the message. Thank you

Dear Parents/Carers, We hope that all of our families are keeping well in these strange times that we find ourselves living in. During the next two weeks (6th April – 17th April inclusive), the vast majority of staff will be taking a well-earned break therefore they will not be monitoring Purple Mash or ClassDojo and no additional activities will be added. However, before this time, all teachers will set a fun Easter project for children to complete. Our school website includes information and advice in relation to staying safe online in recognition of the increased amount of time children will be accessing online learning. https://www.paddockjinschool.co.uk/kirklees/primary/paddock/site/pages/keyinformation/prevent Should you need anything during the Easter period, please don't hesitate to email schoolclosure@paddockjinschool.co.uk. Someone will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible. We hope to see you all again very soon. In the meantime, take care, stay safe and, as always, thank you for all your support.

Hello Everyone, Here is the Newsletter to tie up our first week of Home Learning. It has been fabulous to see all the work that the children have created and I can't wait to see what next week brings! Have a lovely weekend and most importantly, stay safe!
