Opening to Y5 children 

RE: provision for children in Y5

We have been delighted with the successful reopening of school to the targeted year groups.  The children have settled back into the routines and are enjoying their learning. 

Now that the first phase of our reopening has been successfully completed and we have tested our procedures and protocols, we are aiming to bring more children back into school.  This is in response to government advice that where possible schools should open to more children before the end of the summer term. 

After canvassing some of the Year 5 parents we have been able to establish that we have capacity to open to this year group for those who wish to return. The rationale for opening to the year 5 children is so that we can prepare them for entering Year 6 next year.  This will support the children to make a smooth transition.  Their learning time over the next few weeks will include gap analysis, baseline assessment and forward planning for September.  We are now able to offer places in two groups of up to 15.

 Please read the attached letter which give details about how to request a year 5 place for your child and provides some information about the organisation for their return.

Requests for a place must be made via telephone to the school and need to be completed before 12 pm on Thursday 25th June at the latest.
