Our school is working to support all families in our St Wulstan's community during the time of Covid 19.

Start times for September 2020

Children will maintain year group 'bubbles' to minimise the risk of infection. Enhanced cleaning will also take place. School dinners will be available. The times of lunches may vary to allow for additional cleaning. 

We are looking forward to rebuilding our learning community within the school and are planning a curriculum which enables us to re establish our routines, friendships, prayers and our thirst for knowledge. We know that some children have been absent from school for a long time and we are looking forward to them rejoining with their friends. 

One adult should accompany the children into the school site. Social distancing MUST be observed. There will be limited parking spaces and parents are advised to park and walk, to enable social distancing and reduce emissions around the school site. 

Parents are advised to consider walking to school with their children where possible. This can include park and stride using the Retail Park as the parking space. Please see the school Travel Plan for details.

Parking spaces will be limited as social distancing will be a priority. Please consider alternative parking. 

Start times for September 2020
