Swadlincote Primary School's Catalogue of Measures Put In Place For Reopening
Swadlincote's Belmont Primary School has unveiled a catalogue of measures being put in place for the return of the first tranche of pupils next month.
In a letter to parents, headteacher Sue Davies says the Belmont Street school is looking forward to welcoming back children - but 'school routines are different'.
The Government is aiming for a gradual reopening of primary schools starting with nursery, reception, Year 1 and Year 6 on 1 June, although this is not yet a fixed date.
The letter details the planned reopening including:
- a one-way system for drop off and collection with times 'slightly staggered' and two metre spacing marked out in case there is a queue
- one parent should bring a child and parents must not gather at the gates or on the yard
- pupils will be supervised at two metre intervals to wash their hands on arrival in class
- each child will belong to a 'pod', with younger pupils in their own classroom with their teacher and a familiar adult
- staff will be assigned to a pod and groups will be kept apart
- Early Years Foundation Stage pupils will not be able to free flow between classes
- pupils will to stick to one room during the day
- the playground is zoned to ensure each pod can be outdoors without mixing with other pods
- pupils will not use cloakrooms, keeping coats etc on the back of their chair
- there will be no assemblies or group gatherings
- pupils will eat lunch - either a pack-up from home or a 'grab bag' school meal provided by Derbyshire County Council - at their desk
- doors and windows will be open as much as possible
