September 11th 2020
Our first full week back has come and gone! Firstly a huge thank you to all staff, parents and, most importantly, children for making our return to school so enjoyable. It has been a pleasure chatting with the children as well as listening to the enthusiasm, learning and laughter coming from every room!
We have welcomed back our youngest pupils from Reception and Nursery this week and staff are thoroughly enjoying getting to know each of their unique characters. They are in for a year full of fun!
Drop off / Pick Up
Reception will be entering and exiting school during the 8.40 – 8.55 and 15.10 -15.25 windows from Monday. The one-way system and timings we have put in place aim to cause as little disruption to your day as possible, whilst ensuring as safe as possible entry and exit of the school grounds. For the system to work it is essential that:
- Only one adult accompanies their child(ren).
- Adults take responsibility for social distancing on school grounds.
- Adults and children stay in the allocated lanes and leave the school grounds and adjoining roads as safely and swiftly as possible.
I appreciate school drop off and pick up times are usually a social time of the day, but in the current climate and following strict National and Local guidance, please make every effort to clear the school grounds as swiftly and safely as possible. I thank you for your support and understanding as we work together!
Breakfast Club
Our provision for Breakfast Club has had to change in line with National and Local Guidance. We have had to set a capacity alongside a risk assessment, which means that no pupils will be able to turn up on the day. A contract must be signed, returned to school and pupils booked in. Breakfast Club will resume on Monday 14th September. We have reached our capacity and are currently fully booked. If you would like to add your name to the waiting list, please contact school. We will review the provision regularly. It is vital that no cars are driven up the school drive! Diolch!
School Dinners
School dinners will resume from Monday 14th September. Most pupils will have their meals delivered to their classroom. Please see SQUID for menus and payment.
After School Club
Unfortunately, we are unable to resume after school club on school grounds at present.
Essential Information
It is crucial that the school is contacted if:
- You, your child or anyone in your household has a confirmed case of COVID 19/Coronavirus.
- You, your child or anyone in your household have symptoms – a new, continuous cough and / or a high temperature/fever, loss of smell or taste.
- You, your child or anyone in your household is in self-isolation.
Under no circumstances should a child come to school with any of the symptoms mentioned above. If a child shows symptoms during the school day they will be isolated under supervision and will need to be collected promptly.
We are all getting used to this new way of working but it is important to remember that, although face to face interaction must be limited, we are here to offer support whenever needed. If you have any concerns, queries or feedback, please contact the school or Mr Evans directly.
Have a great weekend!
Mr Jamie Evans
Acting Headteacher
