School Start Times and Collection Times

7th Sep 2020

As you are aware all pupils are returning to school for five days per week…the previous half class bubble approach was changed by the minister in August. This means quite a lot of parents/carers and pupils will be visiting our sites from Tuesday 1st September onwards on a daily basis. All families have been given start times/ drop off points and collection times/ points for their children in their class bubbles. This has been given based on guidance from DE in order to minimise the amount of adults and children outside the school gates at any given time and hence support social distancing and control the spread of infection.

We respectfully request that you support us on adhering to these times ….help us to ensure safety for all.

We also respectfully request that adults wear face coverings at the gates if they can and adhere to social distancing at the gates.

Only parents of children in Nursery, Year 1 and Year 2 should enter the school grounds to take our littlest children to the school doors…..all other Year Groups (3-7) should wait at the school gate drop off point with their parents/ carers and they will be collected by staff and taken into school.

Please note: If we need to change any of the above drop off/ collection arrangements we will let you know as soon as possible.

If your child is in Year 3-7 and you wish them to walk home by themselves then please indicate this to the class teacher via a little note. If you wish your child to be collected by taxi then you should send a note to the class teacher indicating this. Please note that the taxi driver must wait at the child’s collection point. For Child Protection and Safeguarding purposes we cannot release a child to any adult without parental consent. If a parent changes the usual method of collecting their child/children please contact the school to inform the relevant teacher(s) of the change. Thank you!
