Step 4 Information

The government have identified Monday 19^th July as the date to remove many restrictions that have been imposed on the UK population.

Our aim is to make things as easy and as safe as we can prior to the school summer holidays. We have consulted with the Local Authority over the forthcoming changes and the impact on our school for the final week of term. Please see the attached official letter from South Tyneside Council. In effect, our procedures will not change for the final week.

Parents should note:

• Timings for the start and end of school will remain the same.
• Year groups will still act as bubbles for the final week of term.
• Isolation requests issued prior to the 19^th July will still apply.
• KS1 parents should still collect their children using the box system.
• We continue to ask parents to respect each other’s space and wear face masks whilst on site.
• Staff will continue to social distance within school.

Our aim is to ensure that pupils and staff reach the summer holidays safely.

Plans on how we will reopen in September are well underway and we will communicate these to parents when ready.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Head Teacher
