School Reopening Update Letter
Dear Parents & Carers,
This week, we were delighted to have some of our F1 children from Cygnus Class back in school. They all settled in quickly and adapted well to the current changes in our school environment.
From Monday 15th June, we will also welcome back the F2 and Y1 children from families who have confirmed a school place.
F1 children in Cygnus Class: 9:00am – 12:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
F2 children in Cygnus Class: 9:15am – 12:15pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Y1 children in Aquila Class: 9:30am – 12:30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
We have staggered the start and end times of the sessions. Children can be dropped off and collected at the school gate where they will be supervised by a member of staff. Please ensure that you keep to these times so that we can maintain social distancing guidelines.
Our school will be closed for deep cleaning on Wednesday in order to maintain the highest standards of health and safety.
Each ‘bubble’ has a maximum capacity of 10 children. We have already contacted the families of children in F1, F2 or Year 1 to confirm that they are returning to school. If you declined a place but then decide that you would like your child to attend, please do not just turn up on the day. We may not have the capacity to accommodate your child in that ‘bubble’. Please contact the school office and we will advise you if a space is available.
The school continues to be open for key worker provision from 8:45am -3:30pm. As throughout the closure, and in line with government guidance, this group must be prioritised. As we extend our provision, children can’t transfer between key worker and year group ‘bubbles’. Any new key worker children places must be applied for via the application form. This is available from our office: office@hps.snmat.org.uk
Our staff are continuing to provide online learning via MS Teams, Class Dojo and the school website for all pupils who are working from home.
For everyone’s safety, we ask that our families adhere to social distancing rules outside of school if their child is attending the provision. Families that do not follow the government’s social distancing guidelines will not be allowed to use the provision for 14 days until the risk of infection has passed.
I will keep you updated as we continue to review the situation based on our capacity, risk assessments, government updates and SNMAT guidance.
Best wishes…and stay safe,
Mrs H-S
