It has been a wonderful first week back to school. The children have really enjoyed being back and it was pleasing to see that they settled quite well, back into their usual school routines.

Thank you for ensuring your child is dressed in full school uniform. Please remember to write your child’s name on all their belongings. This really helps staff to locate lost items.

Wishing you a lovely second week back to school.

Kind regards,

The Reception Team

Welcome back to school!!

We are very pleased to welcome all children back to a school for the remainder of the Spring 2 Term.

Here are a few things to note about the return to school for Reception children:

• Reception children staggered  start and finish times:
• Please arrive  promptly at your allocated start and finish times.
• Please arrive via the main entrance and queue along the pavement across from the school building, maintaining social distance as you wait to enter the school.
• Please wear a mask, unless exempt, to protect other parents, children and staff.
• Please either fill out the the lunch menu choice cards emailed to you or write your child’s choices on a slip of paper and have ready to drop into the dropbox outside each class. Please write your child’s name on these. The menu is also available on Google Classroom in the Parent Information section.
• Please send a named water bottle to school with your child. Please do not store water bottles in book bags.
• The children will have PE on the following days: 
• Grosvenor Class: Thursday mornings

• On PE days, children must come to school dressed in their PE kit with school jumper and school shoes. They will change into their PE shoes when they get into school. Please note that some of your children may have outgrown their PE shoes. The teachers will let you know by the end of Tuesday if this is the case so you will be able to replace their PE shoes, if necessary.

Wishing you a wonderful first week back at school.

Kind regards,

The Reception Team
