Anti-Bullying Week 16th to 20th November 2020

 

 

 

 

You can find our Respect for All policy here.  This was written in line with Renfrewshire Council’s Anti Bullying Policy, which you can view here.

We created the policy as a Joint Campus as our school communities work so closely together and we believe that everyone who works here, learns here and visits here, deserves to be treated with respect.

All our staff, pupils and parents were consulted in creating this policy and we have captured their views throughout.  We continue to implement our policy in our daily actions and will review it as part of our school improvement cycle.

Our Together logo was launched last Christmas when we merged the winning pupil designs – we think it really represents our school campus vision:

Every day, we work and play, learning ways to get along.
Finding out, what life’s about, everybody moving on.

Guidance Letter to Parents/Carers re: Face coverings

 

As you will be aware, the Scottish Government has now confirmed details of the new protection level system to help stop the spread of coronavirus, and Renfrewshire has been placed in Level 3.

This brings with it some extra protection measures for our schools and nurseries.

The main changes relate to the use of face coverings from Monday 2 November and I would like to ask for your support as we implement these measures.

We would also ask that all parents or visitors entering school premises (building or playground), including drop-off or pick-up, to please wear a face covering.

As always, the safety of your children is the single biggest priority for us. We continue to follow all national guidance designed to keep our school community safe and we really appreciate your support and co-operation in helping to reduce the risk of covid-19 transmission within our schools.

You can read more about what we already have in place to ensure our schools and nurseries are safe on our Schools Health and Safety webpage. And more on what to do if you have a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 in your household can be found on our Covid-19 Schools webpage.

Staggered Start and Finish Times – August 2020

As you know, the Scottish Government has said that physical distancing of 2 metres is required to keep your child safe. Based on this guidance, we have maximised all the spaces in the campus to ensure we can retain this 2 metre distance at all times. This means we will be introducing a staggered start and finish time for all classes. The playground will be clearly marked to show children where to stand prior to entering the building. Children should only arrive at their expected entry time as there will be no space for adults inside the building or in the playground.

The times will be the same whether your child is in Group A or Group B i.e whether they are coming on a Monday/Tuesday or a Thursday/Friday. If you have more than one child, all children should arrive at the earliest time. Entrances will be clearly marked and staff will be available to bring the classes inside.

In the morning:

8.45 – P3 and P7 will enter the building through separate entrances.

8.50 – P2 and P6 will enter the building through separate entrances.

8.55 – P1 and P5 will enter the building through separate entrances.

9.00 – P4 will enter the building.

In the afternoon:

Children should leave the playground as soon as they leave the building.

2.45 – P3 and P7 will exit the building through separate exits.

2.50 – P2 and P6 will exit the building through separate exits.

2.55 – P1 and P5 will exit the building through separate exits.

3.00 – P4 will exit the building.

If collecting a child, parents should meet them outside the playground area and leave the grounds immediately in order to preserve the safety of all. Parking will be limited so please use alternative ways to come to school, where possible.
