When schools and educational settings reopen in September, they will
look slightly different. They will have systems in place to help keep
everyone safe, so we can all help to prevent the spread of Coronavirus
(COVID-19).
Some pupils have not been in school for a long time so we appreciate
they may feel worried about going back to school or starting new
schools. Schools are working hard to support pupils and hopefully the
steps outlined below will help reassure both you and them. Please take a
few minutes to read up on how things will look from September onwards,
so you can plan for you and your family.

What schools are doing to keep your child safe
Schools will be using protective bubbles to help manage risk. A bubble
is a group of pupils who spend their day together often with the same
small group of staff. Children in the bubble will spend time together
having the same break and lunchtimes.
They will also use the measures that we have become familiar with:
* children will wash their hands regularly
* social distancing will be in place where it can be
* staggered start and finish times will help with the flow of pupils
* cleaning within classrooms and areas within the school will be done
more often
* we will use contact tracing when there are positive cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What you can do
*Plan a new routine*
Before school starts in September, have a new routine planned so you
have time to get up, get ready and get to school on time. Tell your
children about the new routine in advance so they know what they need to
do and what to expect.
*Walk or cycle to school if you can*
We understand you want to avoid using public transport, but there are
great alternatives to driving, such as cycling or walking, that help
reduce traffic on the roads and can be good for your health. If you do
need to drive then you should try parking a short distance away from the
school as this will help you to avoid the worst traffic and reduce
congestion around the school. Please avoid car sharing. For information
