Dear Parents / Carers,
First of all, from all the staff at PPS, we just want to say a big thank you to all of you for everything that you have done this year, helping children to learn at home, putting up with all the measures that we have put in place and helping to keep our children and our school safe.
There is a little bit of information regarding procedures for September below:
-
We will continue coming into school wearing our PE kits on PE days, we will be posting which days each class has PE during the PD days in September so please make sure you check the website before returning to school. If your child has a sports club after school, then please send them into school wearing their uniform with their clothes for club in a separate bag for that day. Children will be able to get changed for their club after school.
-
Please ensure that all children are wearing sensible school shoes that they are able to run in. No trainers or slip on shoes please.
-
We politely ask that no rucksacks are brought into school as we don’t have the space for them in our cloakrooms, this last term the school has been so much tidier without huge rucksacks taking up lots of room! Please send reading packets and water bottles in by themselves, or in a blue school book bag. There is also no need to bring in a pencil case, all stationery will be provided by school.
-
Morning drop off will stay the same as it has been this term with our one way system and children going to their classroom doors from 8.45. Registration is at 9am in their classrooms, any children arriving after 8.55 will need to go into school through the main office doors so that they can get to their classrooms on time.
- The school day finishes at 3.15, there is no staggered pick-up time. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children must be collected from their classroom doors by an adult. Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children will be dismissed from the playground by their teachers as we used to do pre-covid. Year 6 children are obviously able to walk home by themselves if the school have already been given permission to let them do so.
We hope you all have a brilliant and well-deserved summer, enjoy the sun, have fun and stay safe!
From all the staff at Pontesbury Primary School
