A bubble is a small group, no bigger than 15 children, which is kept together for the duration of the school day. (The bubble may be less than 15 children depending on room sizes.) Once your child is placed in a Bubble they will not be able to transfer to a different bubble. Children in different bubbles will not be allowed to mix. We appreciate that this very different from how school once was, but we are committed to keeping children as safe as possible.
We are aiming for Thursday 25th June. We will confirm this date by text message next week.

To allow for deep cleaning and preparation the school will close to all children, except those of keyworkers, after children have eaten lunch on Wednesday afternoon at the times shown above.
Yes, when school reopens to year 6 children your child will become part of the year 6 bubble. They will remain with that bubble and will not be able to re-join the Keyworker bubble.
Year 6 children who this affects will not be able to rejoin the Key worker bubble, but will instead be looked after separately until the end of the day for the Keyworker bubble.
If you would like to collect you children earlier than this, please come to the school office to collect them.
On Tuesday we will send a text message letting you know which Bubble your child is in. We will also ask you to confirm that you have read, and discussed with your child, our Behaviour Policy Appendix which has been drawn up in light of COVID 19.
Once in a bubble your child will have the same class teacher and teaching assistant/s, this will not necessarily be their usual class teacher or classroom.
As with those accessing childcare for key workers and vulnerable children, your child will not need to wear school uniform for the remainder of the summer term. We would ask that the any clothes that your child wears are suitable for the daily activity of school life.
No, due to the need to restrict contact with soft furnishings, it will not be possible for these to take place.
No, in line with guidance, there will not be breakfast or after school provision.
Depending on which entrance / exit your child arrives at, they will have their temperature checked and be asked to stand on a marked place on the playground. These markings are to ensure that children remain 2 metres apart where possible.
Classrooms have been set out with desks that are 2 metres apart. Your child will sit at their own desk and have a plastic wallet which will have all the stationary etc that they will need. Your child should not bring in their own pencil case etc. Once your child is assigned a table, they will stay at that table for the remainder of the day.
If your child is unwell, please do not send them to school.
If your child becomes unwell during the school day they will be placed in an isolation room and you will be called to collect them.
Please send your child to school with a clearly labelled water bottle. Water fountains will be switched off in school, water bottles can be filled during the day. For safety/hygiene reasons your child should not bring their book bag / school bag or equipment.
Due to the hot weather we would also ask that children bring suntan lotion, a cap / hat (They can also bring sunglasses if they wish.)
If your child requires medication please send this into school as usual, it is important that your child takes this home at the end of each day.
No, as we aim to keep to a minimum the number of adults your child interacts with. Though your child will still enjoy regular P.E sessions.
No, as we aim to keep to a minimum the number of adults your child interacts with.
