The first phase of Year 6 pupils to return will take place on Monday 8th June.  Parents and Carers involved in this first phase will have received an email from me today.

The second phase will be invited from Thursday 11th June.

We have no confirmed date for the remaining pupils.

Please note that unless you receive an email from me inviting your child into school and confirming arrangements they should not yet attend.

Henshalls Insurance Brokers donated Easter Eggs to the children in school today.  This was VERY well received and brought smiles to the faces of our keyworker children!

I am really pleased with how today went and want to thank the staff for everything they have done to prepare for the phased increase in numbers which we commenced from today.  The staff have worked incredibly hard to get things in place and welcomed the children back into a happy atmosphere today.

Thank you to the children; as always they have been stars.

Thank you to the parents and carers who read and complied with procedures today: it makes our ‘jobs’ so much easier!

Please remember if/when your child is in school:

*You SHOULD arrive within your ten minute time slot and arrive to collect your child within your ten minute time slot.  (As numbers increase this will help to keep a flow of parents).

*Trainers must be worn (no flip flops, sandals, crocs etc.)

*All children MUST come to school with a water bottle.

Tomorrow I will be directly contacting the parents and carers of Year 6 children who will be returning on Monday.

Mrs Yates has kindly put together a quiz for the children!  This could be a fun activity to try at home…

Our amazing team: Mrs Griffiths-Morton, Mrs Hester, Mrs Cartwright and Mr Matthews work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our school site safe and clean.  They have all worked incredibly hard over half term to prepare for our return.  Thank you to them for making a difference.
