Start  Date  

Children start back on Thursday 3rd September. ALL children are expected to return on this day unless they have been given a different starting date by the school. Reception children will be staggered in over three days in order to support a smooth transition into full time school from nursery.

 

Uniform

Children will be expected to wear the academy’s school uniform. If you would like to order one online with the school’s logo on, please go to https://www.schooltrends.co.uk/ and search ‘Easterside Academy’. The navy uniform can also be bought at any local supermarket.

Children will be encouraged to come to school in their PE kit on their PE days to minimise risk of transmission of the virus. We will let you know your child’s PE days on their return in September.

 

Hand Sanitiser

Children DO NOT need to bring in their own hand sanitiser.

As a school we have plenty of hand sanitiser in ALL classrooms as well as at stations around the school, including outside the dinner hall.

Children will be told to wash their hands and sanitise regularly throughout the day.

 

Breakfast Club Provision

There will be no breakfast club provision in school immediately. This will be something we are constantly reviewing and once we feel we are able to provide the service safely under the guidance given, we will let parents / carers know.

Our priority is firstly getting everyone safely and settled back into school.

 

National Breakfast Programme

Our school has signed up to receive free healthy breakfast food as part of the Covid response offer, under the National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP), which is being delivered by the charities Family Action and Magic Breakfast.

We will start the provision week beginning 14th September.

We will be providing ALL pupils with bagels each morning on entry to school if they would like one.

The benefits of a healthy breakfast include children being settled and ready to learn at the start of the day.

 

Medication

If your child requires medication please bring to the main office labelled on their first day back.

If your child has an inhaler, please pass to your child’s class teacher labelled.

Any child with asthma will only be allowed to remain in school with a current inhaler.

 

Contact Numbers

Please make sure we have your up-to-date contact numbers.

If they have changed over the closure period, please phone the main office.
