Information for September 2023

 

Drop Off

All Key Stage 1 children should enter the school building using the red gate entrance, where they will be greeted by their class teacher. 

This gate will be open from 8:45am and closed promptly at 8:55am. Once they arrive, your child should hang their coat on their individually labelled peg and then go to their classroom to be greeted by their class teaching assistant and begin their early morning work.

 

What to Wear and What to Bring

Children are expected to attend school in full summer school uniform, please see our uniform page for further details. In addition, children should bring in their PE kit in a named red school drawstring bag and a book bag containing only the following items:

A pack of disposable tissues;

A named water bottle; and

A contact book, a reading book and reading record book (these will be given to your child in the first week).

Children are requested not to bring any toys or equipment from home except under special circumstances and prior agreement with your child's teacher

 

Collection Arrangements

Your child finishes school at 3:15pm and the school gate will be opened at this time to allow you to collect them from the exit door on the same side of the school building.  Please be aware that you must complete a new pick-up arrangements form for this academic year. This can be emailed back to the school office or handed to a member of the class team.

 

Home -  School Communication

During the drop off and collection times, there will always be a member of the year group team on hand who will always do their best to support with any questions or concerns. However, the most effective way to communicate with the class teacher is using your child’s contact book or by emailing the school office who will forward the message on.

If there is anything of a more confidential or sensitive nature, you can email the safeguarding team direct on DSL@fermorschool.org.uk

 

 

 

We hope the information on this page has been helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year 2 team. It is our goal to ensure every child is settled and happy in Key Stage 1 and enjoying their journey through primary school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New arrangements in accordance with updated Covid Risk Assessment for Term 3

 

Please be aware that the children in KS1 will not be having swimming at this point in time, in accordance with our updated Covid risk assessment. We apologise to the children as we know how much they enjoy this and ask that you support our difficult decision.  Swimming will be reinstated in the curriculum as soon as we are able.

P.E. will be held on a Friday but we require the children to come to school dressed in their P.E. kit as was the routine in the Summer term.  This is to minimise risks when changing.  We ask that the PE kit is worn home and washed before the following Friday.  Please ensure that it is warm enough for them both inside and outside the building with long jogging bottoms and layers such as a long sleeved top, sweatshirt and/or hoody. 

Lunches

There may be changes to the lunch arrangements but we will communicate these to you as soon as possible.

Many thanks for your understanding in this.

The Year 2 nativity films are now on the children's area of the website for a limited period and can be found under 'Video Resource Centre'.  We hope you enjoy them.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting the year group page. We are really looking forward to welcoming your child back into Key Stage One and want share with you some information to help support your child’s transition back into the classroom.

As outlined in Mrs Strand’s communications, following government guidelines the children have been sectioned into pods and your child will be a member of pod C. For more information from Mrs Stand on what the pods are and how they work, please follow this link.

Drop Off Arrangements

Your child will start school on Monday 7th September and will enter the building through the red gate entrance. There will be a one-way system operating whereby you enter the school site via the gate beside the carpark and after drop off, please leave via the alley way.

The gate will be open from 8:50am for the arrival of Year 2 and remain open for the arrival of Year 1 at 8.55am.  This is to minimise the risk of too many children and adults in the small space in front of the gate at the same time.  The gate will be closed promptly at 9.05am. Once inside the gate, your child will be greeted by staff from their pod and shown straight to their new classroom where they will be supervised with handwashing and unpacking their belongings.

What to Wear and What to Bring

Children are expected to attend school in full summer school uniform, please see our uniform page for further details. Children are asked not to bring in a rucksack or other school bag but should only bring in their PE kit in a named red school drawstring bag, a named water bottle and an SHF school book bag containing only the following items:

• A pack of disposable tissues;
• Their reading book
• A yellow reading record book and
• A contact book (these will be given to your child on the first day).

Your child must not bring any other items into school unless authorised by your child’s teacher to meet their specific needs.

Hygiene and Safety Measures

During the first day and on an ongoing basis, your child will be reminded of the good hygiene practices that we will be enforcing in school and we will explain the safety measures we have put in place to help keep your child safe, such as staggered break times, regular hand washing and limiting the areas of the school each pod can access.

It would be really helpful if you could talk to your child about why it is so important that we maintain good hygiene to help keep everyone safe and encourage your child to speak to a member of their teaching team if they have any questions or concerns.

Collection Arrangements

Year 2 will finish school at 3:15pm and will exit the building through the red gate where you will need to wait for them. The class teacher or teaching assistant will bring the children to the gate and ensure they are released to the designated adult following the Collections Arrangement Form that you will have filled in previously. Please ensure that these forms are updated with any changes for this year. Please contact the school office if you need a digital copy of this form or if you need to collect a printed version. 

Home -  School Communication

Due to the current situation, parents and carers will not be able to come into the school building at the start, the end or throughout the school day. For most forms of communication, we would ask that you use your child’s contact book or email the school office who will forward the message on. If there is anything of a more confidential or sensitive nature, you can email the safeguarding team direct on DSL@fermorschool.org.uk
