School Reopening March 8th

2^nd March 2021

Dear Parent/Guardian,

School Opening Monday 8^th March

As you know the Government has announced that all children will return to school next week on Monday 8^th March.

This means that we will open for all year groups next week. I have revisited our risk assessments and the guidance provided by the DFE to make sure that we can do this in a safe way. The control measures that we had in place last term will keep our community safe and so we will operate using those. The only changes you need to be aware of are:

• The school gates will open at 8:45 am and close at 8:55 am. for all children
• They will come into school and go straight to class
• Reception will be collected from the Foundation Stage playground at 3:25 pm
• The other gates will open for everyone at 3:30 pm and we will operate a one way system to collect.
• Parents will come into the playground to collect Year one, two and six through the top gate and leave through the main gate. They can walk down the side of the playground to collect other year groups.
• Parents can enter through the bottom gate to collect Year three, four and five. They will exit by the Fothergill Street exit.

School meals will operate as normal as will the Before and After School Club. Our main control measures are social distancing, the operation of year group bubbles, good handwashing and hygiene, good ventilation and increased cleaning.  

Staff will be engaging with lateral flow tests at home but children will not. All visitors to school will be expected to wear masks and staff will wear them in public places.  

We need you to tell us if there are confirmed cases in your family and to follow any guidance we give if we have to isolate any school bubbles.

Our control measures and risk assessment documents are available on the website.

Year five children who are not self-isolating from today will come back in on 8^th March.

Yours faithfully

Duncan Hetherington
