Staggered Start and Finishing Times
It is very important that the children arrive and are collected on time. The purpose of our staggered start and end times is to ensure pupils from different class bubbles aren’t mixing as per Welsh Government guidance to reduce the risk of any transmission between classes. KS2 pupils arriving early are also blocking the pavement down at the field gate which is a safety concern for people trying to come past.
The start times for each class are below, pupils should arrive at this time and no earlier:
Dosbarth Enfys (Year 6): 9am
Dosbarth Porffor (Year 5): 9:05am
Dosbarth Glas (Year 4): 09:10am
Dosbarth Gwyrdd (Year 3): 09:15am
Dosbarth Melyn (Year 1/2): 09:05am
Dosbarth Oren (Rec/ Y1): 09:10am
Dosbarth Coch (Nursery/ Rec): 09:00am
We appreciate this is difficult when dropping siblings off at different times. If necessary, KS2 pupils can be dropped off at the field gate when an adult is present to keep classes separate. If you would like to discuss your individual circumstances, please get in touch.
