Welcome back Stanhope!
It’s been such a long time since we saw all of your happy faces. It was lovely to see so many children back today.
Keep an eye for some photographs of the children settling back into a ‘new’ school life this week…
Dear Parents/Carers
Thank you for your patience and support today. This morning’s staggered arrival worked well and we will continue with the gates opening at 8.40am for the time being.
However, we had a few issues with collections tonight. Please can those parents who have MORE THAN ONE child in school come to the MUGA at 2.50pm. Once the children have been picked up could you please leave the premises as quickly as possible. The remaining children who DO NOT HAVE a brother or sister in school will remain in their classrooms. Then at 3.05pm, those parents who have children in year 1 and 2, will be asked to go to the MUGA to wait for their children. Once they have been collected the year 3 and 4 parents will be invited to stand on the MUGA for their children at 3.10pm and then at 3.20pm year 5 and 6 children will be dismissed.
Please arrive at your designated time as we are following social distancing guidelines. Especially now, the ‘R’ rate in South Tyneside has increased.
Once again, these procedures we have in place may change – please bare with us.
Thank you again for your support.

It’s the beginning of the Summer Holidays, many of you may be thinking ‘What could we do today?’
We have put together some ideas if you’d like to give them a try…
E-Safety – July 2020
The safety and wellbeing of the children is paramount at Stanhope Primary School. As we are slowly coming out of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, searching for some normality we would like to make you aware of the latest issues around young people.
Many young people are using the internet for school work and also personal reasons. On the whole, issues such as knife crime are lower since the beginning of lockdown, but unfortunately there are many E-Safety issues on the rise.
Please be aware of your child’s activities online as the following have increased.
- Inappropriate searches (such as exploitation, pornography etc)
- Anonymous chat and stranger danger incidents.
This is having a huge effect on young children’s mental health. It has seen the biggest increase.
