Class Specific information:

Upper Phase (Yr4, Yr5 & Yr6)

Wherever possible, we ask children in the Upper Phase to make their own way to/from school each day.  Parents/Guardians will not be permitted onto school grounds.  If there is no alternative and children are needing to be driven to school, we ask that parents use the car park opposite Georgetown Co-op to pull in to drop and collect.  Please do not park and escort your children (as we are wanting to avoid a gathering of adults at the school gates).  Mr Clark will be on road crossing duties to ensure they cross the road safely. 

Middle Phase (Yr2 & Yr3)

Wherever possible, we ask parents & children in the Middle Phase socially distance when entering school grounds – please be patient if there is a queue (as we are wanting to avoid a gathering of adults at the school gates). 

Early Phase (Nursery, Reception & Yr1)

Wherever possible, we ask parents & children in the Early Phase to socially distance when entering school grounds – please be patient if there is a queue (as we are wanting to avoid a gathering of adults at the school gates).  If possible please try to avoid bringing pushchairs or buggies to school.

Non-Uniform

To enable children to have a clean change of clothes each day they will be able to come in wearing non-uniform.  Please may we ask that children wear clothes that are appropriate rather than a fashion show/party clothes.  They will be outside as much as possible – shorts/tee-shirt are preferable.  No open toed sandals/flip flops – trainers please.  Sun cream needs to be applied before they come to school & they will need sunhats each day.

Mobile Phones

These will be collected in by class teachers each day and stored in the teachers desk.  As per normal school requirements we ask that phones are set to silent or turned off as children enter school grounds.  We do not encourage children to bring in phones unless it is essential.  Reminder: Pupils are fully responsible for their phones - school does not take any responsibility for any loss or damage.

Lunchtimes

Children will eat their packed lunch in their classrooms – please ensure that they have any spoons etc they might need for yoghurts as we will be unable to provide school cutlery.

Online Seesaw app

Classes will be using the Seesaw app to set and feedback on homework.

Learning

The children will still receive English and Maths lessons, as well as the other curriculum areas, however the children’s timetable has been adapted using a “Recovery Curriculum” which ensures that Well-being has a priority, as well as lots of opportunities to be outside, enabling any anxieties, worries or concerns to be explored and eased.
