Framework For The Partial Re-opening Of Beever.pdf

Key Highlights:

Partial Opening: Focus on Nursery, Reception, Year 1, and Year 6 initially. Other year groups remain closed.
Safety First: The safety of students and staff is paramount. Strict social distancing guidelines will be enforced within "bubbles" (small groups).
Bubbles: Each class or group of students will function as a self-contained "bubble," minimizing interaction between different groups.
Staggered Schedule: School days run 4.5 days per week, with early closures on Fridays for deep cleaning. Start and end times are staggered to reduce congestion.
Key Worker & Vulnerable Students: These students remain the priority, with continued attendance encouraged.
No Fines/Penalties: There will be no penalties for non-attendance or inability to offer a "broad and balanced curriculum."
Meals: All students in school will receive meals, with free meals available for those on Free School Meals (FSM).

Logistics:

Drop-Off & Pick-Up: Parents should arrive at designated times, maintain 2m distance from others, and limit stay time on site.
Classroom Disposition: Students will be taught in smaller groups ("bubbles") within their classrooms. Lunchtimes are staggered, with meals delivered to classrooms.
Playtimes: Outdoor play areas will be accessible but managed to preserve bubble integrity. Limited play equipment will be available and sanitized regularly.
Personal Care: Staff may wear PPE during personal care tasks for safety, minimizing distress where possible.

Timeline & Flexibility:

Phased Opening:
Monday 22nd June: Year 6 returns (stress test)
Monday 29th June: Year 1 returns (further stress test)
Monday 6th July: Reception pupils return
Subject to Change: All dates and plans are flexible, depending on government guidance, infection rates, and student attendance.

Key Worker Information:

Key worker children (Years 2-5) should continue attending as usual.
Any changes in key worker status require one week's notice to ensure adequate staffing.
