School Reopening - September 2020
Dear Parent / Carer,
I would like to start by letting you know that myself and the staff wish you and your families well and have been able to keep safe during this challenging period of time. School has not been able to operate as we normally do at the centre of our community working in partnership with parents and supporting each other. There is nothing we would have liked more than to reopen our gates to all of our pupils, parents and community.
The Government have given school a clear message to reopen for all children in September, which we are very much looking forward to. We do need to put plans in place to ensure this is done in a safe manner.
To assist transition for children returning to school. They will start in September in their current class with their current teacher and teaching assistant. They will complete a week in that class before moving up to their new class on Monday 14th September. The new Reception Class will have a delayed start of Monday 14th September to enable this transition to take place.
We will need to continue to have a staggered start and end to the school day to aid with social distancing. Classes will operate as bubbles and will be kept separate from other bubbles in school as much as possible.
Please see below for times to arrive at school and drop off locations for each class.

Unfortunately due to operating a staggered start and finish, we are unable to offer breakfast club and after school clubs in the first instance. Children will be offered a grab and go breakfast in the classroom when they arrive in school at their allocated time. We will look to re-introduce the clubs as soon as we feel it is safe to do so.
If parents are going to be using external providers for before and/or after school provision, including child minders, can you please let the school office know so we can liaise with them regarding plans.
Please see attached a return to school plan with some basic information about the plans for September. If you need any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact school.
Thank you for all the communication and kind messages throughout the lockdown period. I have seen many of you within the community over the last 4 months. I am looking forward to seeing each and everyone of you when we return in September. Take care and stay safe.

Kind regards,
Clive Wisby
Head Teacher
