WELCOME BACK

1st Sep 2020

Hi Everyone 

We had a great first day!

It was fantastic having all our lovely boys and girls back in school together today.

It was very obvious from all the smiles that they were glad to be back. 

Thank you for all your cooperation with our new routines. Remember all of these procedures are in place to safeguard, and in the interest of health  and safety of our whole school community.

A few procedures need reinforced, so please note:

  • School gates will not open until 08:45am daily. Please do not leave children unaccompanied outside the school gates.
  • Remember to adhere to social distancing regulations when dropping off and picking up children.
  • Check your child’s finishing time which was sent out via school app on 20th August.
  • In order to keep up to date and be informed, make sure you check the school website/school app regularly.
  • Pick your child up promptly as cleaning begins as soon as the children leave, therefore they cannot re-enter the school building.
  • If your child is unwell, do NOT send them to school.
  • Make sure that the contact numbers you have provided are up to date. The contacts provided MUST be available to answer their phone as soon as school rings. 
  • School dinners will be served to those entitled to Free School Meals only, until further notice.
  • Please provide a small healthy snack for break time. 
  • Please be mindful when preparing lunch for young children... We are conscious of food going to waste. A sandwich, yoghurt/fruit, a treat and a drink is ample for little children and will enable them to finish their lunch in the allocated time.

Staff have worked tirelessly, under very difficult circumstances, to put everything in place in order to welcome the children back into a safe and happy environment.

We look forward to your continued support as the new school year unfolds.
