We would like to reiterate these points:

• There is a one-way system around the school playground for dropping off and collecting children
• Regular hand hygiene will be monitored by staff
• Social distancing between children will not be possible within classrooms
• No equipment can transfer between school and home

Staggered entry

Entry will be via the top car park gate from Linden Lea, onto the pavement of the car park, children will be dropped off at the school gate and then parents will exit via the gate to Simpson Close.

Children will enter their classroom upon arrival.

Please can we ask that only one parent drops off and collects their children.

We will revert to staggered start times from Monday 8^th March:

Children travelling into school on the Southwick Bus will be arranged into two busloads with two separate departure and arrival times.

For families with siblings, we are asking them to arrive and be collected at the designated time for the oldest sibling.

In addition, PE kits will need to be worn into school on your child’s allocated PE day.

Staggered exit times

Parents will enter by the top car park gate from Linden Lea. They will access the playground by the gate between the Year 5 and 6 shared area and onto the large playground, where they will collect their children.

Exit from the school playground will be via the wooden gate at the top of the playground and out onto Simpson Close.

We respectfully ask all parents to maintain social distancing at all times whilst also exiting the school premises immediately after collecting children. Parents will need to wait on the netball courts in order to ensure that they are appropriately socially distanced.

Due to the limited space on the playground, it is important that only one adult collects children from school.
