COVID-19 Arrangements

Key Actions

Our student timetable will be altered with classes split into groups so that staff and pupils only remain in 1 small consistent group and keep away from other people/groups

We will:

make every effort where possible to keep everyone socially distanced at 2m throughout the school
minimise contact and mixing by altering the layout of classrooms with no more than 15 per group accommodating 1 child per desk
allocate each group a hand washing area for their group
promote good hygiene standards by cleaning hands more often than usual and on arrival and before and after eating, and after sneezing, coughing - washing hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with soap and water and or use of approved hand rub or sanitiser
promote the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach with tissues widely distributed throughout the school
clean frequently touched surfaces often using detergents and antibacterial wipes
provide each child and member of staff with a pack of stationery resources for their sole use in school

Where possible we will:

limit class changeover & stagger break times where necessary to reduce the level of circulation within school
display 2m markers on the corridor floor as a guide to support social distancing
ensure that toilets do not become crowded by limiting the number who use the toilet facilities at one time
only use hall & dining areas (if needed to be used) at reduced capacity (only one group at a time for sporting activities)
eat lunch outdoors (weather permitting) or in their classrooms (ordered hot meals will be delivered to the group classroom)
close the school library, cloakrooms and changing rooms until further notice
ensure groups will keep their belongings (coats & bags) with them in their allocated classrooms; footwear can be changed in the group classroom prior to PE

Each group will be allocated a generous space on our extensive grounds and will be supervised by a member of staff
Breaktimes and lunchtimes will be slightly staggered to avoid one group mixing with another on route outdoor and so that movement around the school at the same time is minimised
When fields are out of use due to poor weather conditions, recreation times will be indoors - although we do expect to be able to offer a portion of time outdoors on the yard for each group individually
A small amount of play equipment will be provided for sole use by the group. It is only used by separate groups and appropriately cleaned between use of groups
Allocated playground equipment e.g. footballs to be cleaned after recreational use
