Pupils<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the start of interval, start of lunch and at the end of the school day pupils are asked to leave the building by the doors at the bottom of the stairs, this is to minimise\/avoid large gatherings. There are hand sanitiser stations at the main entrances to the school and throughout the building, please make use of these to prevent the spread of any diseases.\u00a0 In addition at the end of each block of learning pupils will be asked to wipe their desk to help prevent the spread of any disease.<\/p>\n

Parents and carers<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If parents or carers need to speak to someone the first port of call should be via telephone to their Principal Teacher of Pupil Support<\/p>\n

Face to face meetings will only take place in exceptional circumstances and will be pre-arranged.<\/p>\n

When dropping off your child at please remain in the car.<\/p>\n

Uniform<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We recommend that pupils bring a change of footwear. On all the other days pupils should come dressed in full school uniform.<\/p>\n
