Dropping off and collecting – reminders

This is just a polite reminder to please stick to the arrangements for social distancing when dropping off and collecting your children from school. We have a strict risk assessment which has enabled us to open and we must adhere to these rules until the end of term please. Now that there are more children with us, it has become even more important to do this to avoid close contact and potential transmission of the virus. Many parents have only agreed to send their children in because they were satisfied with the careful measures we have put in place in school. Please be mindful that everyone’s situation at home and with their health is different.

  • Arrive promptly in your designated time slot.
  • Stand 2m from other families.
  • Leave promptly and do not loiter chatting to other parents, even outside the gates please. It is hard for us to reinforce the rules to the children if they see parents in groups.

Many thanks for your co-operation.
