UPDATED - Introducing the staggered times & dinner information

Apologies- updated with this year’s September Timetable.

We will be arranging with you this week the allocated time slot for drop off and collection times as we will be joining both groups together next week on WEDNESDAY 18th September.  These allocated groups will help ease the pressures on the car park - if we haven't had a chance to talk to you about it please see the class teacher by Monday home time.

(A)     First Staggered Group

Drop Off 8.55-9.05

MAX 13

Collection Time

18th September: 10.55-11.05

23rd September:  11.20-11.30

Once FULL TIME 1.00-1.10

                                                            

OR

(B)      Second Staggered Group

Drop Off 9.05-9.15

MAX 13

Collection Time

18th September: 11.05-11.15

23rd September: 11.30-11.40

Once FULL TIME 1.10 – 1.20

This is to ensure everyone receives equal time, to support safe movement within the grounds and by opening at 8.55 we will only be taking 5 min from the school day.  

Dinners - we will be identifying groups for introducing dinners from Monday 30th September.  Each class will start with 13 children and then more children will be added to these groups on the Thursday & following Wednesday to allow us to establish dinner time routines.  The first week your child starts dinner they will stay until 12.30 and then the following week the full time. 

If you are entitled to Free School Meals & have yet to apply you have the option to pay for your child’s dinner or to defer their start date for dinners until the school receives confirmation of your entitlement- please note that if you opt to cover the cost of the dinners the money will NOT be reimbursed.
