It was wonderful to welcome our new Pr. 1 pupils to the school this morning and to see how splendid they were in their uniform and how confidently they strolled into school. Quite amazing! They had a wonderful day in class and will no doubt have been delighted to share a story or two  of their day and new friendships made.  All teachers focused upon enhanced personal hygiene and the importance of social distancing. Whist children do not need to social distance,  teachers  must keep a 2 metre distance.  If this is not possible and close contact is beyond 15 minutes then staff will wear a mask.

Pr. 1 pupils will attend school at 9.00am tomorrow and will share the yard with the pupils of Pr. 4 – 7 who will also arrive at 9.00am.

Please be mindful at drop off time that only one adult is present to escort their Pr. 1 child to the school gate and that you leave in order to enable all parents to socially distance.  Pick up time for Pr. 1 pupils will remain at 2.45pm. Please ensure only one adult is there to pick up and that you leave the school site to avoid any form of crowding or congestion particularly at the school gate.

Pr. 2 pupils will leave at 2.50pm.

Pr. 4 – 7 pupils will depart at 3.00pm.

Please note that the school is monitoring the level of  social distancing at the school gates and fences.  May I kindly remind all parents and in particular parents of  older children of the need to organise a pick up point slightly further from the school to ease congestion and ensure social distancing at this time.
