Dear Parents/Carers
In an effort to ensure that we do all we can to keep our pupils safe, we have reviewed the arrival of Infant pupils in the morning and have decided to tweak the arrangements as follows.
The Infant Gate will open between 8.50am and 9am and parents are asked to bring their children to the yard and leave them with their class teacher.
The purpose of this re-arrangement is to avoid congestion at the gate which compromises the safety of others who need to use the pavement outside school (including our Junior pupils Nursery morning pupils can continue to arrive at 9.05am.
Therefore, we ask very kindly that you do not loiter at the gate or on the yard but leave the area immediately, avoiding causing an obstruction.
There is no need to arrive any earlier than 8.50am.
During these times staff will not be available to discuss any matters/issues with you - staff are only available by prior appointment. Please e-mail the school office and a telephone appointment can be made for you to discuss any issues.
Covid Symptoms.
Also, just a reminder that we do still have Covid measures in place although some have been relaxed and our response to a positive case will not lead to whole contact groups being asked to isolate. One of the key factors in ensuring the success of the current measures is that we keep the virus out of school. Therefore, we ask you to ensure that you do not send your child to school with any Covid symptoms.
