Cam Hopton's Read Well Collection and Library Enrichment

We worked closely with Nailsworth based charity Read for Good and were part of their Library Project. We are proud to have our Read Well Collection displayed in our school library, to support our aim to offer 'Life in all its fullness'. 

This collection has been carefully selected to support mental health and well-being. How we utilise this resource is evolving and it has already:

  • supported individual children and groups
  • been a focus for whole school worship & DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time
  • provided ideas for a whole school writing

We are grateful to have received 100 inclusive and representative new books from the Little Box of Books and many new titles from Read for Good. 

 

We continue to hold regular book fairs hosted by The Yellow Lighted Bookshop. 

 

 

Our newly refurbished library is open! 

Cam Hopton welcomes Read With Me volunteers

Working with community volunteers from Read With Me who offer one-to-one support in school, we aim to help every child learn to read well before they go to secondary school and take a full part in education.

Living with Covid Advice from April 1st 2022

 

Covid 19 is now being managed in the same way as other respiratory infections. 

  • Children and young people and staff who are unwell (with any illness) and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
  • They can return to school, college or childcare when they no longer have a high temperature, and they feel well enough. 
  • Adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious.
  • For children and young people aged 18 and under, with a positive test, the advice will be 3 days.
  • If we feel that a child is unwell in school we will continue to contact parents/carers and request that they are taken  home.
