Dear Parents/Carers,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in adhering to the new measures in place to support us in keeping everyone safe. It has been wonderful to start to welcome the children back into school this week and we cannot wait until everyone has returned.

We know that changes can also bring with them challenges and we want to work together to get it right.

We have implemented a staggered start and end time to reduce the number of people on site and waiting outside the school grounds.

Start Times

The children in Year 1, Year 2, Year, 5, and Year 6 start school at 8:50am, with access to school premises from 8:45am. We ask that children are in their classrooms/line by 8:55am. Any children arriving after this time will have to be taken to the school office.

The children in Reception, Year 3 and Year 4 can enter school premises from 9:00am and we ask that they are in their classrooms/line by 9:10am. Any children arriving after this time will have to be taken to the school office.

End Times

The children in Year 1, Year 2, Year, 5, and Year 6 finish school at 3:15pm.

The children in Reception, Year 3 and Year 4 finish school at 3:25pm.

Nursery

Nursery AM – 8:50am start with 11:50am finish - Entry and collection from classroom door.

Nursery PM – 12:15am start with 3:15pm finish - Entry and collection from classroom door.

Nursery FT– 8:50am start with 3:15pm finish - Entry and collection from classroom door.

To reduce the number of people waiting to enter the school at one time can we please ask that you do not arrive at school before your child’s start time.

Once you have handed your child to their class teacher can we ask that you leave site promptly to allow space for other families. Similarly once you have collected your child can you please leave site promptly.

Movement around the school gates is one way only, please follow the instructions and guidance given by the staff on hand at the start and end of the day.

Finally, can we please ask that you maintain social distancing whilst on school grounds and whilst waiting outside school to enter to drop off or collect your child.

Kind Regards

Miss M Michael

Headteacher
