Parent Forum - Monday
Thank you to all parents who came to the Parent Forum on Monday.
A decision was made to restart the Friends of Forden PTA group. The funds will continue to be banked through the school account so there is no need for a treasurer at present. All decisions, information, etc. will be passed on through their Facebook page.
The Friends of Forden Facebook page has been reopened. If you have not joined, please search for Friends of Forden and send a request.

When should I keep my child off school? - NHS advice
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they're unwell. There are government guidelines for schools and nurseries about health protection and managing specific infectious diseases. These say when children should be kept off school and when they shouldn't.
Safeguarding
If you have any safeguarding concerns, no matter how big or small, please report it. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
If you have concerns or suspicions concerning a child, contact Powys safeguarding team 24 hours/day, 365 days/year by email csfrontdoor@powys.gov.uk or through their online reporting form (Click for link).
You can also call them on 01597 827666 (Mon-Thu 8:45am-4:45pm and Fri 8:45am-4:15pm). For out of hours, please call 0345 054 4847
The designated safeguarding lead in school is Mrs Fowler, the deputy safeguarding lead is Mrs Haine and our governor responsible for safeguarding is Sean McLaughlin.
