News: Breakfast Club

 

Dear Parents/Carers

Breakfast club will resume on Monday 28th September. Having risk assessed following the latest Welsh Assembly Operational guidance, the club will run in a different way for the foreseeable future.

If you wish to book a place there will be a £1 daily charge, payable in advance on parent pay for the ‘childcare element’ of the club. Children who are attending breakfast club, will be in their own class bubbles, in their own classroom. This Club will have limited capacity and may close at very short notice if necessary, due to the current situation or staff shortages. Any closure would be posted on the website. There will be a maximum of 12 places per day for Foundation Phase children

( Reception to Year 2) and 12 places per day for Key stage 2 children. These will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and booked in advance for the following week.

Children will be provided with a drink and a breakfast cereal bar. Breakfast Club will begin at 8 am and pupils should access the school, through the visitor’s gate, where they will be met by a member of staff.

Please note that this is not a ‘drop in’ child care facility and places are booked strictly in advance. The health and safety of all staff and pupils is our primary and overriding concern during these challenging times.

Please book your place on a Thursday by emailing [email protected]   Bookings will be taken from 8 am until 1 pm every Thursday. Bookings emailed outside of these times will not be accepted. You will receive confirmation of your place on a Friday for the following week.

Thank you for your continued support during these challenging times.

News: Updated Entrance and Exit procedures

Dear Parents/Carers

We as a school are continually monitoring and reviewing our risk assessments, policies and procedures. Our number one priority is the health, safety and well-being of all our children, staff and wider community.

We have now updated our risk assessment and procedure for entering and exiting the school premises.

Please read the instructions carefully, if you have any concerns or questions then please contact me via telephone or email.

Changes have been made to the procedures following concerns about the lack of a pedestrian footpath directly outside the side gate and the unpredictability of traffic usage during drop off and pick up times.

When waiting outside the main school gates, please;

• form a social distance queue (either to the right or left of the school gates.)

•Staff will collect each child from parent/Carer at the designated gate 

•Once your child has entered school gate please leave the queue so next child in line can enter school 

• Please respect the Welsh regulations in place and do not congregate in groups outside the school. Social distancing must be adhered at all times. 

• At the end of school day please queue at the designated gate, at the designated time for your child while maintaining social distancing. 

• Staff will then bring your child to you. Once you have collected your child please leave the queue so the next parent can move forward in queue.

• If you find yourself in a position that you are unable to maintain social distancing in the formed queue please remain either in your vehicle or stand clear of the school until

you are able to join the queue. 

• Please be assured that no member staff will allow your child to leave the school premises until a responsible adult has presented themselves at the designated gate. 

We thank you, as always for cooperating during this time.
