Longsands Community Primary School

As guidance from Government continues  to change so do our plans for the phased reopening. More Key workers are returning to their place of work so inevitably schools will be taking in their children for the emergency childcare as originally laid out at the beginning of lockdown.  This means more space in school will be needed and more staff to support. Our plan of opening for the  three years groups highlighted has now had to be altered to still make sure we have enough space and staff to support our children safely and appropriately. Therefore the Governors and I feel it was right to delay the phased reopening until 8th June as this will give us and you as parents more chance to adapt  plans in line with changes put forward by Government.

Our intention now is to start with Year 1 from week beginning 8th June but only on Wednesday , Thursday and Friday and the same days for wb 15th and 22nd June. This would allow the children  to have three weeks in school . Mrs Calvert will be working on the new groupings and will be in touch when done. Our start times for Year 1 will be 9.15 until 2.45 with a 45 minute lunchtime.
