Some things we noticed in September that really improve how this works are:
By getting this right we can have a very safe, calm and well-run start and end to the day.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What kind of shoes should children wear?
Children should wear trainers, every day, they can be any colour, this is because they will be using the field for play and lunchtime as much as possible and we may be taking the opportunity to do some running as part of the curriculum on many days.
How will we know which doors to use?
There will be a number of members of staff who will direct children and parents to the correct entrances and exits at the beginning and end of the day.
The children will also know the correct entrance to be used.
The children will be on the playground, or field at the end of the day to be collected, only year 1 and year r are to be collected form classrooms.
How long are the windows of time for each grouping?
The window for years 4, 5 and 6 is 15 minutes and so those with younger children can drop children off and older children will not be late.
The doors will be open for some time after the window closes to ensure those with siblings and those who are late can use the correct entrance, members of staff will be in the playground and around the school to direct people to the correct entrances.
Registers close for most classes at 9:05 am and for year 1 at 9:10 am.
Are there any changes to the school policy on face coverings for children in school?
The advice on wearing face coverings in Primary Schools has not changed.
The government are clear that the use of face coverings by children in primary schools can lead to a higher likelihood of the transfer of the virus.
On this basis we will not be changing our plan and children will not be allowed to wear face coverings in school.
Please remember face coverings do not protect the wearer but those around them. If they are not worn safely, and no child will be able to wear them safely throughout the school day, they become a hazard to others.
A child in school wearing a mask will become a hazard to others and is more likely to transfer the virus.
They should be taken off, safely, before entering school and taken home. We will not be able to dispose of them in school.
Are the changes to the school timetable permanent?
The changes are not permanent. When the government advice that it is safe to do so we will revert back to our normal times.
