Virtual Open Day for Reception 2021: 7th or 14th December
Mon 30 Nov 2020Reception 2021 virtual Open Day meetings
Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are unable to hold face-face Reception site visits. However, we have decided to host TEAMS parent virtual meetings instead on the following dates; Monday 7th December and Monday 14th December both starting at 1.30pm.
The meetings will involve a short presentation, an opportunity to meet the class teacher and a chance to ask questions.
If you go to our website and under the section for ‘Parents’ you will find Reception 2021. We have a virtual tour of the school for you to view and information about St Mary’s.
We would like to ask if you were able to help us by taking any opportunity to share these dates with prospective parents. Please can you ask them to either email or phone the school directly to leave us with an email address and preferred meeting date.
These parents will then be sent a link to their meeting of choice.
We look forward to meeting you.
Thank you
K Joyce

Odd Sox Day - Anti-Bullying Week 16 - 20 November 2020
Wed 11 Nov 2020Anti-Bullying Week
Next week is Anti-Bullying Week and on Monday 16th November it will be Odd Sox Day! We would like children to wear odd socks on Monday next week to highlight the value of difference and uniqueness. During the week each class will be ensuring that:
- children know that school is a safe place for all and that bullying in all its forms is not tolerated
- children know who they can talk to if they are worried about themselves or about someone else
- children know that everyone has a part to play in making school a safe place.

Return to school COVID Procedures Term 2.
Mon 02 Nov 2020Dear parents, carers,
With the new term about to start I would just like to mention some new stricter guidelines we are putting into place.
As you know we are technically back into lockdown and the rate of infection is rising all over the country. Schools are not closing but we have been asked to make sure strict adherence to rules and regulations are followed as best we can as both the safety of our children and staff are paramount.
Below are measures we need to have in place:
- Parents drop off and collect children exactly on time.
- Please follow the one-way system and do not linger in the playground while the children are lining up. Please just drop off and go.
- Please wear a face mask on the playground at all times.
- Think about social distancing at all times, including outside the school gate as there will be vulnerable adults dropping children off as well.
- If you are collecting more than one child, please collect each one at the correct time.
- We need to make sure children do not play in the school, please ensure younger children are not allowed to roam the playground.
- Absolutely no birthday gifts or exchanging of presents in school.
- No toys from home to be brought in.
- We have plenty of sanitiser in school, children do not need to bring in their own sanitiser.
- Once your child has left school they cannot return to collect a forgotten clothing item.
For Class 5 and Class 6 only.
Class 6 – new start time of 8.40am through the BLUE GATES LEADING TO THE CAR PARK
Class 5 – new start time of 8.50am through the BLUE GATES LEADING TO THE CAR PARK
Class 4 – new start time of 9.00am through the BLUE GATES LEADING TO THE CAR PARK
At the end of the day:
Class 6 – pick up time will be 3.20pm through the BLUE GATES
Class 5 - pick up time will be 3.10pm through the BLUE GATES
Class 4 - pick up time will be 3.15pm through the BLUE GATES
Please see the timetable for the other classes also.
There may well be additions or adjustments to the above statement. With your support we can significantly reduce risk so that the school community is safe and well protected.
Yours faithfully,
K Joyce
Head teacher.
