COVID-19 – Details on whole school return in September

A letter and risk assessment which has important information for the return to school in September.

Letter From The Headteacher

I would love to tell you all that everything will be back to normal when you come in to school in September, but unfortunately that’s not quite the case yet.

Throughout the lockdown, I have seen how our parents and pupils have adapted to so many things, risen to new challenges and got on with life even though there have been obstacles, worries and concerns. I have heard how hard you have worked and seen some truly wonderful examples of the activities the children have completed at home.  Thank you to you all for the support, patience and understanding you have shown to our school community during this time.

As we move towards September, there will still be some precautions in place in school to ensure that we are all as safe as possible.

Summary for September 2020

As far as possible we would like school to be back to normal in September, however there are some adjustments we still have to make and until we receive further guidance, the main changes will be as follows:

  • The children will be in ‘class bubbles’ which will not mix with each other.
  • Staggered drop off and pick up times.
  • Children will not get changed in school and need to come dressed in PE kits on the day they have PE.
  • No pencil cases to be brought in from home.
  • Each child’s equipment- pens/pencils etc will be provided by school and stay in school.
  • No whole school or celebration assemblies.
  • Lunch will be eaten in either the hall or the classroom.
  • Lockers will only be used by KS2 pupils to store packed lunches in, which will avoid the need to use the communal lunch trolleys.
  • In the event of a coronavirus outbreak the school would close immediately and lockdown measures for home-learning put into action.
  • School is mandatory for all children from September 2020.

Please read the documents below carefully as they contain further detail and instructions.

All the staff are looking forward to having every child back in September and seeing all our families again.  We hope to have a great year ahead!
