BLACKPOOL SCHOOLS GOOD TO GO IN SEPTEMBER

Blackpool Council has issued a rallying cry to parents to get ready for the new school year.

The resort’s primary and secondary schools will be reopening for the start of the new academic year in September when the usual rules around school attendance will be reintroduced.

School reopens on Thursday 3rd of September 2020. We will send you a text nearer the time slot detailing the time slot for your child(ren) to arrive. We are staggering entry into and exit from school over a half hour

window. We want to keep “waiting” time for parents to a minimum so ask that you only arrive within the time slots recorded below.

Our youngest children arrive first. If you have more than one child drop off that are in different key stages, drop your youngest child towards the end of your ten minute time slot recorded below and then move to drop off the older sibling immediately after that.

For example: If you have a child in Year 1 and Year 4 you drop off your Year 1 child as close to 8.55am as you can and then move to take your Year 4 child in the 8.55am - 9.05am slot.

If you are collecting a Year 3 and Year 5 pupil you collect both children in the same time slot (3.20pm-3.30pm) beginning with the child in Y3.

Sharing this information via a newsletter is incredibly difficult! There are so many unique combinations in our school but we hope that this is relatively clear. If you are struggling to understand what time your child enters and leaves school, please give me a ring on 01253 395985 and we will explore your query. The first few days in September will also allow our school community to “work through” any teething problems so I thank you in advance for your support!
