Possible Re-opening of School for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 Pupils

As you are aware the government have said that schools may begin to re-open to ReceptiPossible Re-opening of School for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 Pupilson, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils from Monday 1st June 2020.  As part of our risk assessment and in order to prepare, we are consulting parents in the above year groups to see if you will be sending your child to school on the proposed date of June 1st 2020.   You can do this by one of the following; completing the survey on the school’s website, emailing the school or your child’s class email, or alternatively, contacting the School Office on 0121 464 2920.  Please do this by Wednesday 20th May.

The Governors and the leadership team will be carrying out a full health and safety risk assessment of the school site. This information will be used to manage and reduce risk and to ensure the continued healthy and safety and well-being of the children, parents and staff whilst on site.  Please note that school will not reopen to any pupils beyond our key worker children until full risk assessments and preparation of the school site have been carried out and we feel that it is safe to admit additional pupils.

Please be aware that if and when children come to school, they will be in much smaller groups and we will endeavour to provide a broad and balanced curriculum within the constraints of this current situation. However, restrictions on the sharing of resources and movement around the classroom will have an impact and we will support the children in every way we can with this.  The DfE has advised that parents will not be fined for non-attendance. 

Please note that we are unable to provide places for siblings in other year groups unless they are on our keyworker register.

Once all the assessments and surveys have been conducted, then we will be in a position to advise you of specific  arrangements and protocols in line with the latest government guidance.
