School Day

Following our return to school in March and in order to ensure that there is no mixing of year group bubbles the following timings currently apply for arrival at and pick up from school.

Timings

Drop off at main gate:

Year 3 and 6 – 8:30-8.40        Year 4 and 5 – 8.40 - 8:50      Siblings wait till 8.40

Pick up (Parents enter at car park gate and  flow through playground to collect, then out by main gate:

Year 3 and 6 – 3.15    Year 4 and 5 – 3:25     Siblings will be on playground from 3.20

Only children in Year 6 will be allowed to walk home alone if we have already had written requests from parents.  If you wish your child to walk home please ask the school office for a permission form. Year 5 parents are able to request this from term 4.

 

Please ensure that your child arrives for school on time.  If they arrive at school after the gates have closed they will need to enter via the main School Office, which brings them into contact with the office staff and potentially other pupils and staff in school on their way to class, who are not in their usual bubble.

PE Kits

At present we are seeking to reduce the amount of changing for PE in school (unless they also have Forest School Inspired Learning on that day,  please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on the following days:

• Year 3 – Monday and Tuesday
• Year 4 – Monday and Thursday
• Year 5 – Tuesday and Friday
• Year 6 – Monday and Wednesday

Forest School Inspired Learning

Playtimes/Lunchtimes

All children have an hour’s lunch break. Currently, as we continue to limit mixing between bubbles, only one year group eats in the hall at a time. There are 20 minutes for eating under this system and the rest of the time children can play outside on our extensive grounds.

Playtimes are mid-morning and each year group has half of our large play area plus space to play on the field at lunchtimes.
