Operational procedures for the beginning of the new term in September
Dear Parents,
Please find below the operational procedures for the next academic year. These processes have been constructed after looking at what we may need to accommodate as a school in September, surveying parents on what has been beneficial during this period of COVID, along with current advice given from the DFE, DCC and Public Health. I have therefore looked at what procedures we have been able to abandon, adopt and adapt to benefit the smooth running of the school.
Term dates for next year-

School uniform will be as normal:

However, on the days your children have P.E and/forest schools the children will come into school wearing the kit the appropriate kit for the full day, so they have more time for lessons rather that getting changed. But this will still also be in line with the school uniform policy (no branded football shirts etc.)
Your child’s class teachers will update you on what days these activities will be gong ahead.
All of these procedures will of course be under review.
Kind Regards,
