IMPORTANT SCHOOL UPDATE

We will be reopening to Year R children on Monday 8th June. There is an email sent to all parents explaining the situation in your inboxes. If you are a parent of a Year R child who was undecided, or have not let us know of your intention to send your child back to school, please can you email or telephone us to let us know of your intentions next week.

 

Below is how the day will run, with some site safety rules. Please read through them carefully.

 

Thank you for your patience in our decision to delay.

 

Kind regards

 

Mrs Riches

 

Running of the Day for Year R Children Monday to Thursday

Drop off (8.30 to 9am): Walk-in one-way system. 1 adult per child. Please drop your child off from a safe distance outside their classroom and walk around the school to exit from the Year 2 gate and down the car ramp (Blue gates - coned off to stop traffic driving in).

Each child will be in their allocated Bubble with up to 14 classmates throughout the day. There will be no set playtimes. Children will not mix with other Bubbles and we cannot swap children between Bubbles.

Lunch: will be served to the children in containers in their classroom. Menu choices will be emailed on the Friday before, so that parents can discuss these with their children.

Snacks: there will be no fruit deliveries this half term. Children can therefore bring a piece of fruit/cereal bar from home. This needs to be put with their water bottle outside their classroom.

Sunhats and water bottles can be brought from home.

Throughout the day, children will remain with the same two members of staff. In line with current government guidance, staff will only wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when administering first aid.

Pick up: will be between 2.45 and 3.10pm. Please do not arrive later than 3.10pm.

Uniform: as near to school uniform as you can. Socks must be worn, and trainers can be worn if school shoes no longer fit.

Site Safety

Please do not arrive at the school earlier than the times stated, as the gate will be closed and social distancing harder to achieve. We are discouraging any waiting time outside of the classroom door. By allowing a 30 minute drop off window, we hope a natural staggering will occur, as has happened with keyworkers. This will be reviewed over the coming weeks.

Only 1 adult per child is allowed on the school site at any time. If you do walk to school together, please do not wait by the entrance to the school as this is a narrow ‘pinch point’ and difficult to socially distance yourself from other people who are passing.

Please continue around the one-way system after dropping off.

Children must not be allowed to run on ahead. They need to be with you at all times. If your child finds walking next to you difficult, please hold their hand.

The only time the one-way system does not need to be used is for pick up from keyworker groups after 3.30pm. At this time, you can access the school from the Year 2 gate. We have made this decision, as many children are being picked up earlier, so there will not be as many parents and children onsite.

The school office is not open to any visitors. If you need to speak to a member of staff, please telephone or email.

Collections for hampers will continue on Mondays between 10am and 1pm
