Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Good afternoon - I hope you have all been enjoying the good weather and have had a decent break. We are looking forward to everyone returning to school tomorrow.
We have had some major service work completed for the new school over the holiday and we still have the playground surface to be re-tarmaced later next week. Entry to school will be the same with gates opening at 8:45a.m. There are some new positions on the playground for classes to line up and pupils will be supported to the correct locations. Please ensure all pupils are in class for 9:00a.m. prompt.
However, we will need to stagger collection at home time as the playground space is considerably reduced. Therefore we will need to allow one year group out at a time (similar to how we did during COVID restrictions).
To assist in this FOR WEEK ONE, Y3 classes will leave promptly at 3:10p.m, Year 4 classes will leave at 3:15p.m, Year 5 and 6 classes will leave at 3:20p.m.
PLEASE ONLY ENTER THE PLAYGROUND AT THE CORRECT TIME - STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST IN THIS MATTER, ANNOUNCING CLASSES THAT ARE EXITING.
Both gates will be open - the one from the drive and the rear gate from Briargate - but also please adhere to the correct collection times for the next week. The access gates will be manned.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
