Pupils can arrive at school from 8.45am - 9.00am. (No earlier)

We are able to avoid staggered arrival and pickup times if parents and pupils ensure social distancing is maintained and that pupils enter the school through the designated gates and queue at the designated cone/area.

The children will enter the school building via their external classroom emergency exit doors (apart from Nursery and Yr3).

Children must queue at their year group’s designated coloured cone and wait to be called forward by their teacher or classroom assistant. Please maintain social distancing.

Nursery (Yellow cone):
Nursery parents are asked to wear a face mask during the settling in period
Please wait at the nursery gates to be called forward.
Mrs Halsall will meet and greet in the nursery outside play area
If your child is distressed, you will be able to wait under the covered area

Yr1 (Green cone):
Yr 1 parents are asked to wear a face mask during the settling in period.
Enter via gate at rear of school, or via the ECO Garden path
Please keep children away from the covered pond and school car park
Enter via Yr1 external door/ramp in the ECO Garden
If your child is distressed, please wait in the wooden Gazebo

It may be useful for the parents of Nursery and Yr1 children to bring their children into the school grounds during the week commencing the 17 August to let them see where they will be lining up each morning. One less thing for them to worry about. (The front gates are open Mon – Fri for the Foodbank)

Yr2 (Red cone):
Enter via gate at rear of school. Please ensure children stay out of the school car park
Enter via Yr2 external door beside the covered play area
If your child is distressed, please wait in the covered play area

Yr3 (Blue cone):
Pupils enter grounds via pedestrian gate
Enter school via main school doors

Yr4 (Red cone):
Pupils enter grounds via pedestrian gate
Enter via external classroom door opening onto main playground

Yr5 (Green cone):
Pupils enter grounds via pedestrian gate
Enter via external classroom door opening onto main playground

Yr6 (Yellow cone):
Pupils enter grounds via rear gate
Please ensure children stay out of the school car park
Enter via external classroom door opening onto main playground

Yr7 (Blue cone):
Pupils enter grounds via rear gate
Please ensure children stay out of the school car park
Enter via external classroom door opening onto main playground

For siblings it is probably best for parents to enter the grounds as per directions for the youngest child.

Pickups will follow the same pattern as above.

Parking:
Please respect our neighbours who live facing the school and along Church Road. I would ask parents to use off road parking available at the Community Centre, the church or the Auld House and then walk child/ren to school. It’s good to walk.

Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding.

Together we are stronger; together we will see this through to better days; and we all look forward to that.
