The Courier

Dear Parents

We hope you have had a lovely summer and we are looking forward to seeing all of the children back in school on Monday morning.

We recognise this final weekend of the holiday can be an anxious time for some children; it is totally normal to feel worried about changes and with this in mind all of the staff are ready to offer a super friendly welcome to them all when they come in.

All children are to enter school through the pupil entrance at the side of school from 8.15am – 8.40am. We recommend around 8.30am so children have a little time in the playground getting used to their surroundings before going in at 8.40am.

Parents of children new to the school (including those starting in Reception) are welcome to come through to the playground with their child if they wish. There will be duty staff on hand from 08.15am, and they will be joined by all of the staff and form teachers from 8.25am to welcome you and your children.

If you require your child to be dropped off before 8.15am, then Early Birds is available from 7.45am in the Library as usual. Please approach the school by the main entrance where you will be met and able to hand over your child.

During the day, Reception children will each be allocated a ‘buddy’ from Year 6 who will help them settle in.

Please collect your child at 3.30pm (Reception) and 3.45pm all other years.

With best wishes for the term ahead.
