As a general back to school reminder, please can we politely remind everyone to stick to individual drop-off and pick-up times to allow for appropriate social distancing within the school grounds. Children should not be playing on or with any of the equipment before or after school, we have a rota system in place for the equipment at playtimes.<\/p>\n
Please can we also ask parents not to use the school car park to either drop off or pick up, we are trying to keep the gate closed to increase the children\u2019s safety<\/p>\n
