The Children’s Safe Return To School From 6th September
| ARRANGEMENTS FROM MONDAY 6th SEPTEMBER 2021 All children will return to Hurley Primary School on Monday 6th September. There will be no staggered starts and children will not be required to stay in their class bubbles. However some basic Covid Control Measures Will Still Remain In Place. We hope to return to much more normal times but we will still maintain some Covid control measures to reduce chances the children, staff and parents catching Covid and consequently missing further periods of time off school. Covid control measures from September 21 If children are poorly please keep them off school to reduce the general spread of infections. If children have Covid Symptoms please, keep them off school and get them a PCR test. If this result is positive please contact school immediately and keep them off school to self- isolate. Children will be encouraged to wash their hands regularly during the day. We will ensure the school is well ventilated. Initially we have been advised by Warwickshire local authority NOT to hold large indoor gatherings like whole school assemblies or big indoor events however this will advise will be reviewed during the course of this term. Therefore in the first few weeks we will have smaller key stage assemblies to spread children out better in the hall. When collecting children please try to maintain sensible social distancing by respecting other parents’ personal space and try, where possible, to avoid congregating in large groups. Masks are recommended by the Local Authority but they are not compulsory. If parents should need to enter school for a specific meeting, please wear a mask (unless medically exempt) Arriving at school All children should arrive at school between 8.45 -8.55 am. Children arriving after 8.55 will be marked as late. Parents will be allowed to enter the school playground to drop off their children. Wearing of masks and social distancing will be a matter of personal choice although we do ask everyone to be considerate of others. Children must be dropped off outside the school building and parents MUST NOT ENTER SCHOOL with their children. Staff will be placed at the Infant class entrances to greet the children. On the first day back, Junior staff will be on the playground to welcome children in. FOR SAFEGUARDING AND SECURITY REASONS, PARENTS AND OTHER ADULTS MUST NOT ENTER THE SCHOOL BUILDING THEY MUST ONLY ENTER THE SCHOOL BUILDING VIA THE SCHOOL OFFICE WITH PRIOR PERMISSION TO DO SO. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR CHILD INTO SCHOOL. Infant parents: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Infant parents will drop off children to their ‘class gates’ which are by the school playground. A member of staff will be at each class gate to greet you. Junior Children Year 3, Year4, Year5, Year6 Junior children will enter school via the Hall door entrance. On the first day, members of staff from each year group will be on the playground to greet the children. Children in Year 5 and Year 6 can walk independently to and from school, if given permission by their parents. We will be allowing children in Years 5 and Year 6 to walk independently to and from school.

If a Junior children ‘s parents do not arrive at 3.30 pm to pick up on the school playground the child should return to the school office immediately where their parents can be contacted or alternative arrangements can be made to provide childcare for them while their parents or a responsible adult arrives at school. PARKING ARRANGEMENTS We continue to encourage and recommend that where possible children and parents walk to and from school. This is a great way to help children develop healthy behaviours for the future and exercise is great for everyone’s mental health. However, walking to school isn’t possible for all families. From September, the church carpark will be made available for parking again as parents will not be required to line up at the school entrance. Please note: · People use the church car park at their own risk. · The car park will not hold all the cars so some parents will have to continue to park away from the school. WHEN PARKING, PLEASE SHOW CONSIDERATION TO OTHERS INCLUDING OUR NEIGHBOURS AND ALWAYS BE MINDFUL OF THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN.

Outbreak Management Plan
When we return to school in September 2021 many arrangements will return to normal. However we have been advised initially to be very cautious about holding large whole school events.
Throughout the year we will be particularly mindful of National and Local Covid infection rates and guidelines and we may need to change arrangement accordingly. If there is an outbreak of Covid-19 in school we will work with Public Health to consider temporarily restoring some of the Covid-19 Control measures to help contain the spread of the infection. Please see our Outbreak Management plan below for more details.
