Changes to collection time at the end of the school day.

On Monday 21^st September the new times for collecting your children at the end of the school day are as follows:

 

Parents with more than 1 child in school – please come to collect children at 3pm

 

Year 1 and Year 2 parents – please arrive for 3.05pm

 

Year 3 and Year 4 parents – please arrive for 3.10pm

 

Year 5 and Year 6 parents – please arrive for 3.15pm.

 

Reception children with no sibling in school – 3pm from the gate into the Unit.

 

Morning arrivals will remain as they have done for this week and children in Year 1 to Year 6, can be dropped off at the school gates from 8.45am – 9.05am. We are still asking that no parents come on to our premises in the morning.

 

Once parents have collected their children at the end of the school day, please leave the premises as soon as possible so our next year groups can be collected.

 

Where possible, when waiting for the gates to open or for your designated collection time at the end of the day, please keep at least 1 metre away from other parents and as directed from the Local Authority we must stress that parents DO NOT gather by the gates or close by to the school.

 

Thank you for your continued support and understanding through these difficult times.

Dear Parents/ carers,

We have been asked by the Department for Education (DfE) and Local Authority (LA) to collect vital information that can allow them to support us as a school, particularly if we go into a local lockdown or schools themselves have to be partially or fully closed. It is really important that we are ready for such an occasion.

We need to ask some important questions which must be answered openly and honestly.

IF YOU HAVE A CHILD or CHILDREN IN YEARS 3-6 ONLY, THEN CONTINUE…
