Dear Parents and Carers
I hope that you and your families are keeping safe and well and have made the most of the fabulous weather over the summer break.
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday 7th September for the start of the autumn term.
Please note if your child is joining us in Reception or Preschool this year their first day will be as per previous letter not Monday 7th.
The safety and well-being of children and staff is obviously paramount to us and therefore, following local and government guidance, we have completed rigorous risk assessments and made adaptations to our school day to ensure that school is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
The DFE have produced information and guidance for parents which can be accessed at: gov.uk/backtoschool
I have attached the reopening plan for you which outlines the key points including slightly amended start and finish times along with different entrances to the school.
We will endeavour to keep the school day as ‘normal’ as possible where all the children feel confident and happy to learn.
I hope you enjoy the last week of your holiday and look forward to seeing you all on Monday 7th September.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Kind regards
Karen Headland Sandra Thacker
