FAQs

Here, we have gathered information to help answer the questions that are asked most frequently. We hope it helps.

School Times

From Thursday 3rd September, we will be allowing children into school at staggered times and from two different entrances to aid social distancing and reduce the risk of Covid-19. Parents will not be allowed on site unless collecting their children at the end of the day. A limited amount of parents will be allowed onto the playground at home time to collect children; a staff member will be on the gate and may ask you to queue outside until some parents have left.

The times and locations for dropping off and collecting your child are below:

Year 1-4 (Main school gates)

• Year 1: 8:50 – 3:10
• Year 2: 8:40 – 3:00
• Year 3: 8:50 – 3:10
• Year 4: 8:40 – 3:00

Nursery, Reception, Year 5 & 6 (Early Years gate)

• Reception: 8:50 – 3:10
• Year 5: 8:50 – 3:10
• Year 6: 8:40 – 3:00

Lunchtime

We have also had to make some changes to lunchtime in order to ensure that children are kept apart from other bubbles whilst being supervised safely.

• Reception: 11:40 – 12:25 and will eat in the hall.
• Year 1: 12:00 – 12:45 and will eat in the hall.
• Year 2: 12:00 – 12:45 and will eat in their classrooms.
• Year 3: 12:00 – 12:45 and will eat in their classrooms.

• Year 6: 12:45 – 1:30 and will eat in their classrooms.

We expect all children to attend school every day that we are open, except if they are ill. If your child is absent, you must make a telephone call on the first day of a child’s absence to notify us of any illness.
