Update 9.6.20
Following the satisfactory completion of risk assessments, we continue to aim for Monday the 15th June to reopen as per our Phase One plan.
We recognise that these plans will not be ideal for all, but we fully appreciate your support as we tackle this huge task of safely reopening the school.
Phase One
Beginning Mon 15th June 2020.
This is the wider opening to nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils. Each child has been allocated one day to return in that week. We have received many responses from parents outlining their plans to return or not; it is still possible to alter your answer.
Our Phase One will last for the first week only – Monday to Thursday.
Phase Two
Beginning 22nd June 2020. At present, Phase Two is outlined to last two weeks and comes into effect if we receive less than 100% of pupils returning in Phase One. From the pupils who return in Phase One, new groups will be formed which may allow children to be in school for more days of the week. Each class/year group may be set up different depending on take up.
Key Workers
Key worker groups from the 15th June will work differently and will have a greater focus on school work. The Governing Body have capped the number of key worker children we will take alongside the wider phased reopening of school. Key worker families who have accessed the offer throughout lockdown will be prioritised for childcare.
We will also move away from daily booking to weekly booking in advance. More will be posted about securing a place in our Key Worker Group on Thursday.
Key worker care will continue to be available Monday through Friday.
Important
Please note that children cannot access their class return day and the key worker childcare in the same week. This is an either/or choice.
The finalised details for Phase One will be published Thursday 11th June, which will highlight key practicalities of lunch, uniform, start and finish times etc. Hopefully, this will answer any questions you have. There shouldn’t be too many changes from our original posted plan.
We will attempt to post some videos and pictures of the school to help children see what classrooms will look like when they return. We have endeavoured to keep it as welcoming as possible but some changes will be clear.
Thanks for your continuing support
Stay Safe
