We look forward to welcoming your child to St James’ Primary School this week. Please see below the return days for each year group:-

Wednesday 12 August – P1 and P7 return to school

Thursday 13 August – P2, P3 and P4 return to school in addition to P1 and P7

Friday 14 August –  P5 and P6 return to school, in addition to the above, marking the whole school return

Teaching staff will be in the playground to collect their class with a stage number. All other staff will be on hand to direct children and remind everyone of social distancing. We respectfully ask that parents do not access to the school playground for the safety of all. NB. Primary 1 & 2 parents will be allowed into the playground on the first morning only that your child returns to school. Social distancing marks will be on the playground for children to line up outside the door where they will access the building. Maps showing the drop off / pick up locations are on the school website.

Here are the arrangements for the staggered drop off/pick up times and locations for all year groups

Please click HERE to read the drop off/pick up times in the full PDF version.

Parents/carers should not enter school building unless required. For new registrations, please contact the school office to make an appointment.

If you are dropping off children from more than one year group, please do not gather outside the school and maintain a distance of 2m, as far as practicable.

For those arriving by car, please park further away from the school and then walk with your children to avoid congestion, or alternatively use active travel routes where feasible eg cycling, scootering, walking. Car sharing with children of other households should be discouraged.
