Arrangements for Monday 21st January

Dear parents,

After carrying out a health and safety check of the school and surrounding roads, we have decided to open the school tomorrow Monday 21st January. However, for safety reasons we are going to operate a staggered start and finish to the school day. The biggest danger in the area is ice, therefore we want to stagger the amount of traffic arriving at school. Our caretaker Mr. Williams has worked extremely hard to ensure that the are safe pathways around the school, and we would ask that all pupils and parents stick to them as there may be ice underneath the snow. (Please be aware that as the yard is still covered with snow pupils will therefore have indoor play).  

If you feel that you can get your child to school safely we will be open from : 

• The school will be open to staff at 9.30am
• Key stage two pupils (years 3,4,5 and 6) at 9.45am - please report to the hall where registers will be taken
•  Nursery,  reception, Years 1 and 2 at 10.15 am  please report to the infant hall where registers will be taken. If you have siblings who are in the infants and juniors they can both start at the earlier time and should both report to the junior hall. 
• There will be no breakfast club

• End of school day -  Nursery,  reception, Years 1 and 2 will finish at 3pm. 
• Key stage two pupils (years 3,4,5 and 6) will finish at 3.30pm.   If you have siblings who are in the infants and juniors they can be picked up together at the earlier time. 

Infant pupils who are going to after school club will be kept in school until their staff arrive at 3.15pm. Junior pupils going to after school club will do so as normal.   

We ask that pupils wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. If weather conditions worsen overnight please check this blog for updates. 

We appreciate that this will cause inconvenience, however the health and safety of pupils and staff  is paramount.

Please take extra care when dropping your child to school over the next few days.  

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. 

Miss S. Harwood
