Parent Letter - 1st September

Tuesday 1^st September

 

Dear Parents/ Carers,

 

We hope you have all had a great summer and been able to enjoy some of the sunny weather.

 

All children are due to return to school on Wednesday 2^nd September full time. We know that some of you will be anxious about your children returning and we would like to reassure you that we will be taking many measures to minimise the risk to children and staff. These include:

• parents keeping their children at home if they are ill
• active engagement with NHS Test and Trace system
• keeping the children with their year groups at all times to reduce their number of contacts
• staggering start and finish times for school
• using different entrances and exits for different year groups
• staggering break and lunchtimes
• ensuring the children wash their hands thoroughly at regular intervals
• increasing the cleaning taking place at school
• windows and door will be propped open to maintain airflow / ventilation

Please look at the table below carefully to see where and when your child needs to be dropped off and collected from school.

 

If you have children in more than one year group, you are able to bring them to one entrance at the later of any given times. Year R have received separate letters about their start at school.

Please do not arrive early and congregate in groups outside school but arrive during the ten-minute slot each year group has been given. At the end of the day, you will be able to enter the school grounds to wait for your child but the gates will not be opened until just before 3pm. Parents picking up their children in Y2, 4 or 5 should not enter the school grounds until nearly 3.10pm.

Parents will not be able to enter school grounds without an appointment so please do ring us if there is anything you need to discuss with us further. There are some FAQ (frequently asked questions) which have been sent to you with this letter which will give you more information.

Yours faithfully,

Ms C. Brake
