COVID19/Coronavirus Advice and Communication

We have been working hard to ensure that our children and staff are safe, as we welcome our children back to school. Below I have outlined some of the things that will happen in school that will help us maintain a safe environment for all.

What happens in school? 

• Within the school building the children will remain in class ‘bubbles’.
• The children are asked to limit what they bring to school, but can bring a bag, a lunch box, a drinks bottle, a hat, coat and their PE kit (please make sure all items are labelled. Returning lost items to the correct person will be more important than ever).
• Children must not bring in personal items, such as toys, pencil cases, etc.
• A member of staff will be on duty to welcome the children at the start of the school.
• On arrival, children will wash their hands.  Children will wash their hands regularly through the course of the day. All classrooms have a sanitizer dispenser.
• Children will be following a normal timetable and be moving around the school within their class ‘bubble’.
• Children can have a cooked dinner or bring a packed lunch as normal.

Class Drop off and Collection

The school is blessed with a large playground and field and we can accommodate all the children coming into school at the same time whilst maintaining social distancing.

Whilst every effort will be made to ensure bubbles do not cross, we cannot guarantee this as children move around the school. The DfE guidance does state however, that transmission of the virus if children pass in corridors is highly unlikely. The evidence suggests that the risks to children are vanishingly small. 

• The staff will welcome the children in at 8.50am.
• At the end of the school day, the children will be dismissed when their parent is seen in the playground at 3.15pm.
