Dear Parents and Carers
Firstly, thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we slowly bring children back into school and start to establish new routines and ways of working. I know it has been a frustrating and challenging time for many of you as it has been for us. Thanks also to those parents who chose to keep their child at home to free up places for children of critical workers.
As you will no doubt be aware, the Prime Minister has announced the easing of the 2m social distancing guidance to “1m+” from 4th July. We have now received confirmation from the DfE that children in school will no longer need to social distance, but still need to be in ‘bubbles’ of up to 15.
This means that, from Monday 6th July we will be able to welcome back another group of children into each year group for the final two weeks of term. In order to accommodate as many children as possible, this will be on a part-time basis. Whilst this is far from ideal, it will at least give many more children a few days in school with their friends and teachers before the end of term.
I have not yet received guidance about how we will operate when children return to school in September. As soon as I know more, I will let you know.
If your child is not already attending school:
If you would like your child to return to school as outlined above, please email by Monday 29th June, 12 noon to school@signhillsinfants.co.uk and include your child’s name and class. Places will be limited so we will operate a first-come-first-served basis and try to accommodate as many children as possible.
Once I have allocated the new groups, I will email a letter to parents giving details of days and times and the procedures that we are currently operating under. I will also post a video on your child’s Tapestry account so they can see what to expect when they return to school.
Thank you.
