Hand sanitiser

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We are moving to a more streamlined system in school which will ensure that children spend as much time as possible in lesson time.

 

We are retaining thorough hand washing at key times, such as following a toilet visit or before lunch. Where the children have been only in contact with their ‘bubble’ we will be reverting to the hand sanitiser option.

 

If for some reason you want your child to use ‘home provided’ hand sanitiser, please let your child’s class teacher know as soon as you can.

 

Many thanks for your support.

Forest School 🌳🌱

We really enjoyed our first session back in forest School. We collected materials to use in our collages. Come back tomorrow to have a look at our finished products!

 

 

Forest school

We had a lovely afternoon in the forest school area collecting items for our collages that we will make tomorrow.

ASC Collection Points

Due to parents unable to enter the school building at present and the school office being unmanned after 4.30pm, there has been a change to collection points.

Before 4.30pm- Please wait on the path outside the main school office and ring 01952 387720 to let the office staff know you are outside waiting to collect. Office staff will call for your child and they will meet you outside on the path.

After 4.30pm- Please collect from the back of the school hall doors. A member of the ASC team will meet you and call for your child.

*Please note. Children are in different areas of the school while in ASC. When you arrive your child may take a few minutes to get to you.

Important information for Miss McCullagh’s class

As you know, we are constantly observing and reviewing our systems to ensure the highest levels of safety.

We are looking at how we can reduce the wait times/congestion around the Year 1 exit area. A trial will commence at collection time today. Please follow the one way system as you usually do. Miss McCullagh’s class will exit from the back of the hall. I will inform you tomorrow as to if we deem the trial a success!

Start and end of day update

Dear Parents and Carers,

Firstly, please can we thank you for your support in following the system around the school this morning. Children came in happy and smiling, ready for another day of learning. There were lots of children coming into school independently, especially in Key Stage 2 which is a real help to us when considering the number of people we have on site at any one time. The staff on duty wish to thank you for your co-operation.  We are hopeful that this system will not be in place forever, but for now we feel it is the best system in order to keep everyone as safe as possible.

The main school gates will not be open to parents and pupils before 8.30am in the morning and 3.00pm in the afternoon.  Please remember, you have from 8.40am until 9.00am to get your children into school, which may help you when considering your morning arrangements.

You may be aware that some of the residents who live adjacent to our school raised some concerns regarding parking on their property this morning. Where possible, please can you walk to school. We are aware that space is limited for cars and ask that you are considerate in where you park if you are arriving at school in a vehicle. Please do not park in the spaces which are marked with numbers, as these numbers indicate the parking spaces that belong to the property. Likewise, please can we ask that you are considerate to other road and pavement users when parking.

You may also wish to consider parking a little bit further away from school and walking up from there.

The police and Community Support Officers will have a much higher presence at our key entry and exit times in order to support congestion outside of school.

As I have mentioned before, our systems are continually under review. Rest assured, we are trying our best to ensure your children’s safety is our main priority.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
