Arrangements for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 for September 2020

Dear Parents,

We are so looking forward to seeing you and all next week. Just a few important pieces of information. Evidence shows our youngest learners are in the least at risk group. We want school to remain open, so please work with us to reduce transmission. Please remember to be vigilant and be safe. Should your child display any symptoms of COVID-10; high temperature, dry persistent cough, loss of sense of smell or taste, keep them home to isolate, anyone who lives with someone displaying COVID -19 symptoms must also self isolate.

Please also help your children by reminding them how to wash their hands thoroughly.

When? Year 1,2 and Reception will start back Thursday 3^rd September.

Reception Children- phased return

To ease Reception children into fulltime education and maybe to stop them sleeping the afternoon away-

• Thursday 3^rd and Friday 4^th the session will end at 1:00.
• Monday 7^th – Friday 11^th the session will finish at 2:00.
• Monday 14^th onwards 8:55- 2:55.

 

Staggered Approach

We will as far as possible keep them in their class bubbles. To do this we will stagger the start, lunch, end of the school day.

Reception EM/KT	8:55	11:35	2:55

*For those children with siblings we will be flexible

 

Social Distancing for adults

Please remember to use the One Way system for drop off – up the lane behind Norman Street and exit the lane to  Norman Street. Please drop children to the side yard where they will line up in their class bubble.

 

Uniform as usual

Please could children wear uniform daily. Fresh clothes daily is advisable to reduce transmission. (PDG grant form available to down load from website). Mrs O’Callaghan has a large stock of good quality uniform in the Church Nearly New Shop, she will be opening on Saturday 29th August 10-12 noon.

 

School Meals Service

We will be adapting our School Dinner service to provide a combination of 2 Hot Grab Bags Tuesday and Friday, 3 Cold Grab Bags and hot meals. Please use Parent Pay. If your child prefers to eat packed lunch, please use a SMALL lunchbox. Please NO backpacks. Please send water in a bottle you’re your child’s name on it.

 

Fruit will continue daily. Please send £2 in the envelopes that we will provide in September(Before handling it will be left for 72 hours).

 

Working Together

Remember that it will be vitally important to update your contact details.
