January 2023 - KS1 Update
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are going to make a slight change to collection at the end of the day for children in KS1. Moving forward we will be asking parents to collect from the back doors of the classrooms.
Therefore, please collect from the following locations:
Ennis-Hill (Mrs Lloyd and Miss Parker) & Attenborough (Mrs Mclellend & Mrs Ward) will be collected from the back doors through the gate next to Tinky’s into the EYFS/KS1 area.
Nightingale (Mrs Bell) will be collected from the back of the classroom next to the KS1 playground.
Siblings will come down through the centre of the school and come out of the same KS1 doors to save parents needing to head around the school.
Many thanks
Mr Stephens, Mrs Naldrett and the KS1 Team

Unit | Start of the Day | End of the Day |
EYFS | Double doors, near the KS1 playground. Entry through the left hand small main gate. (As you enter the school head right around the building) | The classroom doors by the EYFS outside play area. Entry and departure through the left hand small main gate, the gate will open at 3.15pm. (As you enter the school, head left around the building towards the Field) |
Unit 1 (Year 1&2) | Pencil gate, drop and go, staff members will take the children into school. (Over the past two years we have found this approach has really supported with separation anxiety often faced by children) | KS1 playground. Entry and departure through the pencil gate, the gate will open at 3.15pm |
Unit 2 (Years 3&4) | Main gate, drop and go, staff members will take the children into school | KS2 playground Entry and departure through main gate. |
Unit 3 (Years 5&6) | Main gate, drop and go, a staff members will take the children into school | Main gate, a staff member will drop the children to the gate for collection. (Lots of Year 5/6 pupils walk home independently.) |
If you have multiple children across the school, please be assured that no child will be allowed to leave the school until you have picked your child up eg if you are picking up a younger pupil from inside the school grounds, the teachers will hold onto your KS2 pupils until you have walked to the horseshoe. For older pupils who are allowed to walk home, please can you complete the slip, which will be sent to you separately from the school office.
