Class List—September 2020

Attendance is mandatory. Parents and carers are expected to send their children to school unless they are ill.

If your child, or a member of your household, shows any symptoms, they must not attend school and must isolate at home.

Please take your child’s temperature each morning and do not send them to school if it is 37.8 or above.

School will be open school hours only. Sorry, it will not be possible to offer breakfast and after school clubs initially.

Please apply sun cream before your child comes to school (we will be unable to do this.)

Testing is available for staff and children who show symptoms (Heather can advise on this).

Classes will continue to be ‘cocooned’ – class staff and children will remain in their classes/ outside areas throughout most of the day.

Timetables will be different to before the outbreak of Covid-19. There will be limited capacity to use other areas (i.e. trampoline, the

field etc.) There will be NO assembly or jacuzzi. There will be no soft play, swimming or clubs initially. We hope to

resume these after October half term. Hand washing will occur regularly throughout the day. Regular cleaning of touch points, toys, tables etc. will occur in an

ongoing manner throughout the day. Where possible, resources will not be shared between classes. Social distancing will be followed as much as possible, though, as

you can appreciate, this will be more difficult in some classes than others.

There will be hot school dinners available and they will be eaten in class.

Transport will continue to be limited. Please try to pick up and drop off your child by car, cycling, or walking.

Public transport is not recommended. If you have any queries please contact your child’s teacher.
