High levels of hygiene.

Children will continue to be reminded to wash hands thoroughly, keep their hands away from their mouths as much as possible and to use hand sanitiser, where necessary e.g. before and after activities where resources have been shared.

Dropping off.

Some amendments made.

Children will continue to enter the school as they have been doing so.   Drop off points will remain in place:

Yr R:   via the side entrance.

Yrs 1 and 2:   via the Breakfast and After School Club Door.

Yrs 3 and 4:   via the door to the right of the main school office entrance.

Yr 5:   Ruben class via the door by Ruben class’ cloakroom   /   Empire class via the door between Empire class and Mr Laker’s office (door into Empire cloakroom).

Yr 6:   Sunrise class via the Year 6 cloakroom door   /   Russet class via Russet fire exit door.

We will keep the pathways as they are but with a few tweaks:

Years R, 1 and 2 via the left hand side pedestrian gate and Years 3 to 6 via the right hand side pedestrian gate.   One way system will not be in full operation e.g. parents do not need to go off site in order to re-join another year group path.   Parents can just join another path.

North Street gate can be used by anyone who lives nearer to the North Street Entrance, but please remember social distancing for the time being… we are not out of the woods yet and I know the Government is still unsure what will happen this winter.

Drop off times will remain 8:35am to 8:50am.

Parents to drop and go in order to continue supporting the alleviation of parking issues around the school and will continue to leave through the vehicular access.

Amendment – I (Mr Laker) will cover the North Street gate every Tuesday in order to ensure that I see the majority of parents per week.   I will continue to spend more time at the Main Entrance as the majority of our parents use this.   If either Miss Rootes or I are not around another member of the SLT will be at one of the gates, so please feel free to find one of us if you have a query or a concern.

Picking Up.

Some amendments made.

Pick up times:

Yr R:   3:00pm

Yrs 1 and 2:   3:10pm

Yrs 3, 4, 5 and 6:   3:15pm

Pick up points:

Yr R:   outside the Reception Block.

Yrs 1 and 2:   top playground (the one with the wooden boat).

Yrs 3 and 4:   main carpark / grass area (weather permitting).

Yrs 5 and 6:   lower playground with basketball posts.

Children to wear P.E. kit all day on their P.E day.

P.E kit will continue to be worn for the entire day when your child has P.E.

P.E kit needs to be as follows for September 2021:

• Navy blue or black Shorts.
• Navy blue or black tracksuits (leggings are appropriate – navy blue/black)
• Coloured T-shirt which matches your child’s House colour:

Houses:

Bermelie (red)

Oaken Wood (green)

Kettle Bridge (blue)

St Margaret (yellow)

• White soled trainers, so that they do not mark the school hall.   No plimsolls needed.   When P.E. is carried out in the hall, children will either do this in bare feet or in trainers

NB: no P.E. uniform should have logos or be of any other colour, except the colours mentioned above.   Thank you.   Inappropriate P.E. uniform will be challenged by the class teacher.

If any parents have spare P.E. uniform that is no longer required, please donate it to the school.   Thank you.
