YR, Y1 & Y6 return to school information.

Thursday 21^st May 2020

Dear Parent/Carer

Thank you to everyone whom has responded to indicate if their child in Reception, Y1 or Y6 will be returning after the half term break. I appreciate this has been a very difficult decision and would like to reinforce my understanding and support to those parents/carers whom feel now is not the time for their child to return. Also, to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support, positive messages and appreciation of the school’s efforts over the last two months.

Following a meeting of the Governing board the return to school for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children will be over a three-week period beginning on Wednesday 3^rd June. This approach has been adopted to allow for very careful monitoring of all procedures and measures to ensure the school is as safe an environment for the children as is possible and to allow for review and revision as is required.

The return timetable will be as follows.

Year groups will be divided into smaller groups with dedicated arrival and departure times, classrooms, teachers and teaching assistants.  Final information including specific details of which group your child will be in, their classroom and teacher will be communicated after the half term break when final numbers of returning children have been confirmed and also allowing for any revisions due to updated information from the Government.

Attached with this letter are the following documents

• DCC COVID-19 return to school risk assessment.
• HCPS COVID-19 return to school risk assessment.
• Arrival, departure and play/lunchtime timetable including procedure for arriving and departing school.
• Payments to school information.

The Government as you will have seen in the news has the ambition for all Primary children to return before the summer break, I will be writing to you later in the term to address this following the return of Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children.

If you have any questions or require further information, do not hesitate to phone school or use the teacher@ email address.

Once again, thank you for your support, understanding and cooperation during this challenging and uncertain time.

Stay safe and well
