Return to School for Children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6

We would like to thank parents and carers for their patience and understanding at this difficult time. I know you will no doubt have lots of questions about the children's return to school but at present we still do not have all of the answers. I would however like to reassure you that the safety of our school community is our number 1 priority.  We have been making plans about how to provide for children and to maintain social distancing as numbers increase. All options are being considered, including changes to the classroom structure, cleaning regime and pattern of the school day. Our commitment to you is that we will not fully reopen without properly assessing the risks, implementing social distancing arrangements and following government guidance. Remember that the return to school for children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 is NOT yet confirmed and will only happen when the five key tests set by Government justify the changes at the time, including the rate of infection decreasing and the enabling programmes set out in the Roadmap operating effectively.
