Important Information For Parents

Children will remain in their class ‘bubbles’ throughout the school day. They will have staggered breaks and lunchtimes to ensure children to not mix with other bubbles. They will have contact with the same staff on a daily basis. We have increased cleaning staff hours considerably to ensure the school is kept clean throughout the day.

They will have their hands sprayed with special disinfecting water. This will be repeated throughout the day to maintain high levels of hygiene.

Changing the Times of the School Day

The governors have decided to extend the school day by 30 minutes on Mondays – Thursdays. This will apply to all children when the requirement to socially distance is lifted by the government. In the meantime, children in Groups B and C will be finishing school later than previously (see above information for full details). This change is to allow more time for children to ‘catch-up’ with the teaching time missed during the school closure period in 2020.

Contacting School

If you wish to speak with your child’s teacher or anyone in school we would like you to contact either via dojo or book a phone appoint through contacting, by phone, the main office. Again we would normally welcome parents into school but in order to allow for social distancing we will operate a system of phone contact only.

Lates

Kennion Building 

If you are late please come to the main reception gate where you will be seen one family at a time, so please bare with us as this will take longer than usual.

Physical Education (PE)

Children should wear their PE kits to school on their designated PE days:

• Black tracksuit bottoms or black leggings
• White polo shirt or white t-shirt
• Black trainers or pumps (If you wish your child to wear pumps please can they wear their black school shoes into school and change their footwear for PE)
• School jumper
   
  We will not be asking the children to change in school as we cannot ensure social distancing.
   
  Attendance
   
  From September school attendance has again become mandatory and you are required to bring your child to school every day. If there are medical reasons, directed from your child’s doctor, for your child not to be in school please inform us as some as possible.
   
  If you need any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher through dojo or contact the school office.
   
  Thank you all for your continued patience and support.
