Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the announcements made this week by Gavin Williamson, Secretary of State for Education and Guidance now received from the Department for Education, we are writing to confirm arrangements for school start and finish times:

1. For the remainder of this term (to 20 July) we will continue with the current staggered start and finish times.

1. From the start of term in September, we will revert to the normal pre-covid times of 8.55 am to 3.30pm for all year groups. (Nursery am 8.45 to 11.45   Nursery pm 12.15 to 15.15)

We know that the coronavirus has not ‘gone away’ but will continue to cause some serious illness and, sadly, some deaths. All of us need to continue to be careful. In September there will be far more people entering and leaving the school site in a short space of time, so we respectfully ask you to:

• Park with consideration to our neighbours and being mindful of the safety of all the children,
• Not congregate in large groups in the playground either before or at the end of school,
• Continue to observe the one-way system at the front of the school.

May we again thank you all for your support during this past year, and wish you and your families a safe and restful summer break.

Yours sincerely

Mr Sean Cornish                                 Mrs Alison Huard

Headteacher                                        Chair of Governors
