At St Joseph\u2019s we pride ourselves on our resilience during adverse times and our ability to continue to stride forward with a focused determination for the whole school community. The current pandemic has demonstrated how the school and, through our strong relationships with the local community, can provide support for our families.<\/p>\r\nSince March 2020 and through the national lockdown, the school has remained open. This has allowed us to support pupils and their families in a variety of ways.\r\n\r\nSchool staff set up a foodbank for families who required additional support, as well as providing summer activity boxes for eligible pupils with funding support from the DfE and Croydon LA. We gratefully received food donations from parents, staff, and our local community network. Families were able to select from a fresh, variety of food daily throughout the lockdown. In addition to this, supermarket vouchers were given to families. This level of support has continued throughout this academic year and we ensure that all pupils in receipt of free school meals receive ongoing voucher support, when required.\r\n\r\nClick here to see a video message from our staff to pupils during lockdown (May 2020)<\/a>\r\n\r\nWe were the only school in Croydon during 2021 to offer an Easter provision for our eligible pupils, providing high-quality and free childcare (including sport and enrichment activities) as well as nutritious food. We expanded our offering for the school holidays in Summer 2021, offering places to eligible pupils from other Croydon schools also\r\n\r\nSt Joseph's Easter Provision<\/a>\r\nSt Joseph's Holiday and Food Activities Provision\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\nThroughout this time, pupils\u2019 education and wellbeing has remained a priority.\u00a0 During lockdown, staff attended school daily to provide continuous onsite education for the pupils, whose parents were key workers. Parents were able to attend work during this time knowing that their child was safe and cared for whilst they continued working in their vital roles. We also gave our SEND and vulnerable pupils the opportunity to attend school during this time.\r\n\r\nThe school has embraced modern technology to further support teaching and learning.\u00a0 We use Google Classroom effectively to ensure that all pupils continue to learn and achieve, whilst working in school and remotely. \u00a0Remote learning has been supported with video conferencing and has provided pupils with daily direct teaching from their class teacher when working from home.\r\n\r\nOur priority was to ensure all pupils had access to technology to be able to access remote learning.\u00a0 This was achieved by providing families with laptops and access to Wi-fi where necessary. We are also able to offer heavily discounted laptops for families to buy via our partnership with London Grid for Learning:\r\n\r\nClick here for further details<\/a>\r\n\r\nSupporting all our families and coming together during these challenging times has been made possible by using technology to deliver assemblies and celebrate our achievements.\u00a0 It has been a valuable resource for maintaining contact with families self-isolating and providing them with regular contact.\r\n\r\nWe are a strong community supported by a proactive PTA that has been vital in maintaining contact beyond the school environment.\u00a0 \u00a0They have organised the distribution of second-hand uniforms to families needing help.\u00a0 They generously gave each child in the school a pencil case with stationery to welcome them back in September and working together they have begun to create a path of personalised decorated stones representing each family.\r\n\r\nClick here to see the 'special visitor' the PTA arranged for Christmas<\/a>\r\n\r\nWe are also immensely proud of our pupils who came up with creative ways to share experiences in a 'virtual world' whilst separated by social distancing and lockdowns. This included organising a Virtual Zoo, which you can see below:\r\n\r\nClick here for the Virtual Zoo introduction <\/a>\r\nClick here for the Nursery Virtual Tour<\/a>\r\nClick here for the Infant and Junior Virtual Tour<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOur motto is \u2018Together We Can\u2019 and our school community has embodied this through the pandemic.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n ","content_two":"","section_width":"full","content_width":"wide","section_title":"St Joseph's response to COVID-19","align_title":"text-left","section_spacing":"no-spacing-both","separator":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","columns":"1","content_one":"COVID flowchart (5 Jan 2022)<\/a>\r\nCOVID Risk Assessment and Outbreak Management Plan (5 December 2021)<\/a>\r\nOmicron update (2 December 2021)<\/a>\r\nFSM Summer and Activity Boxes Support (21 July 2021)<\/a>\r\nClick here to order home testing kits (Gov.uk)<\/a>\r\nAddendum to COVID Risk Assessment (1 March 2021)<\/a>\r\nCOVID Risk Assessment (1 March 2021)<\/a>COVID Stay at Home (January 2021 Lockdown Rules)<\/a>\r\nPrivacy Notice for Staff LFD Testing (25 January 2021)<\/a>\r\nCOVID Catch-up Grant Statement (December 2020)<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","content_two":"","section_width":"full","content_width":"wide","section_title":"Downloads","align_title":"text-left","section_spacing":"no-spacing-top","separator":false}],"override_title":""},"yoast_head":"\nCOVID -
