Dear Parents                                                                                               

With the recent increase in corona virus cases nationally, we are introducing more rigorous safety measures to keep our community safe.

Children wash their hands frequently, we have an enhanced cleaning regime and staff are going to work harder at teaching the children to social distance indoors when in lines, going to the bathrooms etc.

We ask our parents to  maintain social distancing outside and to avoid gathering. Only one parent should be dropping off or picking up to minimize crowding. Continue to follow the one-way system. In the morning, the priority is to get the children in whilst maintaining social distance. Please do not approach the teachers to talk. If you need to pass a message on send it as a note in the bag or email admin@churchendacademy.com

Parents who enter the foyer at the admin block must wear a facemask as per government regulations. Please maintain the “one family at a time procedure “in this confined space. Letters, forms and documents should be left in the post box outside.

Please stand well back from gates and doors when they are being unlocked and maintain orderly social distance lines when waiting at these areas or near pick up points. Other schools have introduced mask wearing on the school site or a pick up from outside the gates.  We should not have to resort to these measures but may have to be more stringent if our community cannot follow the government guidelines.

After the half term break we will move to a revised drop off and pick up time. Please do not arrive early and gather outside the classroom/ drop off as we need to have people moving quickly and freely through the area.
