Important information regarding school from 8th March
Other arrangements from 8th March until further notice:
- We will be asking all children to come in school uniform. Clearly there may be some issues with children growing out of clothes and shoes during the lockdown so we will accept ‘near’ uniform and shoes in those cases until after Easter when we will want everyone back to normal uniform.
- Face Masks should be worn by all parents (except those with a qualifying exemption) bringing and collecting children. Teachers will also wear masks in corridors and shared spaces as they have done before.
- Adults must stay 2m apart from other adults at all times.
- Classes will be kept apart from any other classes not in their bubbles.
- Children will sit side by side and not around tables in Years 3-6.
- There will be no large gatherings of children such as Collective Worship or concerts.
- Children in Years 3-6 should all bring a small pencil case with essential items – pen, pencil, rubber and ruler. It must be small enough to fit in their drawer. No big fluffy ones please!
- All children should have their own, named water bottle.
- Children will all wash their hands and sanitise at the start and end of the day and at regular times in between.
- Playtimes and lunchtimes will be staggered and children will play in designated zones.
Children with Symptoms or in households where there are symptoms of Covid-19
Children should not come in to school with any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19. You have all been really good at keeping children at home in these situations. Please continue with that vigilance to protect everyone in the community.

Prompt arrival at school (Learning for all starts at these times and vital Catch-Up sessions are also held at this time):

Please be very careful not to mix with other adults during pick up and drop off, we need to continue to be ‘unsociable’ until we get through this pandemic. Only one person should bring or collect children from each family.
Please park considerately and enjoy a little walk to and from school with your children to avoid congestion around the school site.
PE Kit days
PE Kit on PE Days
We have decided to reduce the amount of bags coming in to school for the rest of this year by asking children to come in wearing PE kit on days they have PE from now until the summer holidays. They should wear the correct Abbey PE kit including blue or black tracksuit bottoms if it’s cold, and a school jumper or cardigan on top of their PE tee-shirt. They should also bring a coat as usual.
We are keen to return to the correct PE kit so please make sure this is what they wear on their PE days:
Yr R Tuesday and Wednesday
Yr 1 Tuesday and Thursday
Yr 2 Monday and Thursday
Yr 3 Tuesday and Friday
Yr 4 Tuesday and Wednesday
Yr 5 Tuesday and Thursday
Yr 6 Monday and Friday
Class Christmas Party Day – Thursday 17th December
