Important information on Safety and Awareness

Monday, 21 September 2020 by admin
Hare Krishna dear parents 
 
We would like to reiterate the importance of following the COVID-19 advice from gov.co.uk. 
In these uncertain times and in light of recent information, we are depending on all our parents taking sensible precautions in order to minimise the risk to students and staff at the Gurukula especially those in the vulnerable category. 
If you are in any doubt of the protocol please read the latest government guidelines.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do 
On a further note, the safety of your children is of the utmost importance to us. 
 
Therefore we would like to bring to your attention concerns about the children climbing the trees and the raised rocky area in the school car park while waiting to enter the Gurukula. They are at risk of hurting themselves and others around them.
 
It is your responsibility, therefore, to refrain your children from such activities while they are under your supervision on the school grounds.
Many thanks for your understanding.

Important Gurukula online meeting – 21st to 23rd September **With links to meeting**

Monday, 14 September 2020 by admin

Hare Krishna Dear Parents,

It is so lovely to see the kids back at Gurukula. They have settled in wonderfully and that is a credit to all of you. And amazingly we are doing great with punctuality!!! So a massive pat on the back there.

As we get into the new school year we wanted to give you an update of how the Gurukula is getting on, to talk to you about some of the decisions that were made over the summer and the plans that we have going forward.

So we’ll be having three online sessions, similar to how we did at the end of term last year. There is a session for each year group and if the majority of us can attend or designated year group meeting that will be best. If however you can’t make your session feel free to join any of the other ones. I encourage all parents to join these sessions. It is a perfect time to get the latest news and to ask questions or give comments.

Monday 21st September 6.30pm Year 1 and 2

Thank you also to Nila Madhava for the wonderful donation of  sets of  japa mala and tulasi neck beads which were given as a gift  to those  children who were not wearing neck beads today and to Krupa for the generous donation of Bhagavad Gitas for the children to use in class.
