Newsletter No 11 23rd Nov 2011

Change to the start of the school day from Monday 28th November In order to ensure a smooth start to the day, address the issue of congestion in the playground and reduce the pressure in the car park, from Monday all children can come straight into their class from 8.45am. Teachers will no longer come down to collect the children but will be ready in class to receive them. The aim of this is to ensure a steady flow through the car park, avoid delays on the part of the teacher, get children into a warm environment and improve punctuality. Designated staff will be appointed to the doorways to ensure security and safety. Teachers will bring the class down at the end of the day as usual. I would ask for your support in ensuring that this goes smoothly next Monday onwards.
