Welcome Back!
We are looking forward to welcoming the children back to school this term and have produced this
booklet to give you further information about the school day and help you feel prepared. The
transition from home back to school is an exciting but big change for the children. We understand
this and will do everything we can to make the transition as easy as possible. There are some things,
which you can do to help: Be positive about returning to school. Your feelings will guide your child’s
emotions. Reassure your child and help them to look forward to it. You might like to share some of
the photographs in this booklet and explain how things will work because to maintain a safe
environment for children, staff and parents we have put the following systems in place.
Morning Drop Off
We will block the entrance to the staff car park during drop off and pick up, and be there to help
guide you. No parents will be able to access school beyond this point.
We encourage everyone to use our meet and greet service, this will operate in the bus zone because
it is closest to the school steps.
If you are using meet and greet, please make sure your child is sat on the school side so that they
are not getting out of the car, in to the middle of the road. The children, or parent will need to open
the car door themselves.
Saying goodbye at school may be very emotional for you. But try to send your child off with a smile
and a wave, along with the reassurance that you'll be there to collect them later. Please make sure
your goodbye is loving but brief. Sutton Veny staff will be there to welcome the children and lead
them to the different entrances.
Timings
8:45am: Year 6 will use meet and greet at 8:45am and walk up the path to their fire exit, via the
gate. Parents, please do not arrive before this time (and if you do please park up and stay in your
car with your child).
9:00am: Year 1 will enter school via the steps, or use the meet and greet drop off. Staff will
supervise and will only allow one car or parent to drop off at a time.
9:15am: FS2 will also enter school via the steps, or use the meet and greet drop off. Staff will
supervise and will only allow one car or parent to drop off at a time.

entrance
Home time
Parents will need to park alongside the school fence as close to their allocated home time as
possible, facing down the village towards Duck Street.
Staff will bring the children out to the fence and they will line up by a star! Each child will be
brought to the gate when we see their parent. Parents, please stay in your car until you need to get
out and help your child with their seatbelt.
Parents will then need to drive down the village and turn around at Duck Street.

Items your child will need for school
School Uniform – as close to the uniform as possible but please wear
trainers. (No PE kits needed because the children won’t be changing
and you won’t need wellies in this warm weather!).
Any school reading books to return (these will go in a special drop off
box to be disinfected before going back in book boxes) (No Book Bags
please).
A lunch box, a water bottle and a playtime snack
A smile!
Please make sure the children do not bring anything else from home, this
includes soft toys, pencil cases and sports equipment.
The School Day
Washing Hands
The children will be supervised to wash their hands thoroughly and regularly on arrival,
and throughout the day. Staff will clean the classrooms regularly throughout the day.
Timetables
The timetable for each class will be on the website as usual.
Playtimes and Lunchtimes
The children will play and eat in their groups, in different locations and at staggered times.
Sing Together (But Apart!)
We won’t be able to have assemblies but at 2:30pm each day, we will stop to sing a favourite Sutton Veny song.
We will space out in our groups and all of the windows and doors will be open. We hope the children at home
will sing along too!
The Classrooms Year 6 Nelson Class The classroom has been spread out to enable social distancing. The children will use the same desk and equipment during the day. Nelson Class have access to their own sink area at all times. Year 1 Brisbane Class The classroom has been spread out to enable social distancing but in a child friendly way. The spots will help guide the children. Brisbane Class will have access to Canberra’s sink area at all times. They also have a lovely new outdoor area!
FS2 Auckland Class The classroom has been spread out to enable social distancing but in a child friendly way. Auckland Class also have access to their own outdoor area and sink! They will wash their hands before and after activities. No one will use the gates as an entrance and exit so this area is just for them! The New Office Our school will be strictly for staff and pupils only. The office has been relocated to ensure all deliveries are dropped outside of school and there will be no visitors on site. The new office protects everyone and makes our school very secure. Here is a sneak peek:
