Following Government Guidelines, we will no longer need to conform to previous COVID guidelines. We will, of course, be maintaining increased cleaning and ventilation throughout the school and will be vigilant with personal hygiene such as hand washing.
What are the times of our school day now?
The School day has reverted to its usual time of 9.00am until 3.30pm. Parents will still be required to wait in the playground if they are picking up or dropping off children. We request that you do not arrive before 8.50am or 3.15pm.
What if my child is ill?
If your child is unwell then it is important that they stay at home until they are better but please ensure that you tell us on the first day of absence, why they are unwell and when you think they will return. If there is a confirmed COVID case in the family please ensure that you tell us so that we can advise you on the course of action you need to take for your child. If your child develops COVID symptoms at school then we will isolate your child and ask you to come and get them straightaway.
Will my child go on visits?
We will continue to offer our broad and balanced curriculum which will include educational visits for which the school carries out risk assessments. You will have already signed a consent slip for local, half day visits but if a longer visit was planned you will be asked to sign an additional slip.
Will I be able to attend meetings face to face now?
Some parents have indicated that they prefer zoom meetings so we are going to offer parents and carers the option to choose what works best for them. We do like to meet with you face to face at least once a year, though, as your partnership with us is so important and it is not always very personal if it is only ever carried out on-line.
What if I am worried about anything?
If you are worried about anything then please make contact with us - a worry shared, is a worry reduced. You are welcome to phone our designated parent line; to email admin or a member of the SLT or to phone into reception. We may not be able to answer you straightaway but we will ensure that someone returns your call as soon as possible
