We’re continuing our updates to help you prepare for your child returning to school next week. All the information you need (and more!) is in our March Onwards Parents’ Guide.
It’s still important to reduce ‘people traffic’ around school at the start and end of the school day by staggering the start and end times. The times remain as before:
- Reception: 8.30am start and 3.00pm end
- Year 1: 8.50am start and 3.20pm end
- Year 2: 8.40am start and 3.10pm end
- Year 3: 8.40am start and 3.10pm end
- Year 4: 9.00am start and 3.30pm end
- Year 5: 8.50am start and 3.20pm end
- Year 6: 9.00am start and 3.30pm end
Where you have children in different classes, please bring all children at the earliest time and pick up at the earliest time. For example, a family with a child in Y3, Y4 and Y6 would bring all children at 8.40am and pick all children up at 3.10pm. Siblings will be in the playground with an adult ready to be collected.
Class teachers know which siblings to expect if children arrive earlier than their allocated class time.
Other things you can do to help
- Please be punctual. This will help us to keep our community safe by reducing congestion.
- Use the one-way system as you enter and leave the school site, sticking to the right hand side of the path.
- If you’re waiting in the playground, please ensure your child stands with you and doesn’t mix with other children who may be in a different bubble. Children mixing across bubbles undermines our risk assessment.
- Where possible, just one adult should come into the playground – this reduces the number of adults on site.
- Please leave the school site immediately after dropping off or picking up.
- Avoid congregating in the playground and always keep at least 2 metres from other families.
- Avoid coming into the school building where necessary; if you need to visit the office, only enter if there’s nobody waiting.
- Please wear a mask when you’re at school unless there’s a health reason for you not to do so.
As always, we really appreciate your co-operation and support.
