The Two Year olds will enter via the two year old door and the Nursery and Reception will go through the EYFS door. The staff will meet the children and parents. For children from Y1 – Y6, parents will drop their child off at the gate and they will walk into the school. Mr G. Johnson will stand at the gate welcoming the children.
The day ends at 3.20pm. The parents will collect their children from the yard where staff will send children to their adults that are allowed to collect. For the safety of your children, no pupil will be allowed to leave the building before the regular time unless accompanied by a parent or parents’ named representative.
