Hackbridge Primary School

Summer Term 2021

The school is currently fully open to pupils, in line with government guidance.

The safety of our school community is paramount to us. The government guidance is absolutely clear about the public health advice that schools must follow to minimise the risks of coronavirus (COVID-19) transmission. It clearly details the set of actions that schools must take in terms of prevention and response to infection and all members of our school community and their families will be required to adhere to these. This includes pupil, parent and staff engagement with the NHS Test and Trace process in every case where they are relevant.

In order to make our environment safe, certain protective measures have had to be put in place and we know you will support us with following these. 

Start and Finish Times from Monday 7^th June 2021

In response to the government’s continued roadmap in relation to the pandemic, we will be returning to our normal school start and finish times for all pupils from Monday 7^th June 2021.

 These are: 

Nursery classes:

ALL OTHER SAFETY MEASURES REMAIN IN PLACE, such as adults wearing face coverings whilst on school site and parents entering and exiting the site promptly once they have their child(ren). Please continue to use notes in the Home-School Contact Book, emails to the office@hackbridgeprimary.sutton.sch.uk inbox or telephone calls to the School Office if there is something that you wish to speak to your child’s teacher about.

For both sites:

• At drop off times, it is vital that you drop off your child and leave the driveway/pavement area swiftly to avoid congestion which compromises social distancing for our whole school community.
• All adults entering the school site at drop off and collection times are required to wear a face mask.
• On both sites, Nursery and Reception children are welcomed and dismissed from their classroom doors. School staff will guide parents/carers where they can and cannot go.
• Year 1 and Year 2 children enter via the Infant gate on both sites (parents/carers do not come through this gate, as usual) and are dismissed either from their usual classroom door or from the nearest door to the playground.
• Years 3 - 6 enter via the Junior gate and are dismissed in the Junior playground. Parents will be guided as to where to stand and wait.
