Return to School

Welcome Back

We are very much looking forward to see all our Year 10 students from Monday 22nd June next week!  We understand parents /carers and students may be a little apprehensive about returning to school.  We have included an induction video below which which hopefully give you some clarity and confidence around the measures and systems we have put in place to ensure the school is safe.  While there will always be some element of risk we hope the video shows what we have done to minimise these risks as much as possible.  The video shows how students will arrive to school in the morning and the procedures we will be following.

In addition to the video below students will receive another 15 minute induction video during their first English session next week. This will ensure students are clear on fire procedures, first aid procedures and classroom expectations with a little bit of inspiration and motivation to keep students going in these difficult times!

 

Some important reminders before students return to school:

  • Students will need to wear their full school uniform (blazer is optional)
  • Students will need to bring an appropriate coat if it is wet as they will be standing outside before they are escorted to their lesson
  • The school gates will not be open to Year 10 until 8.45am.  This will allow our Key Worker and vulnerable children to move to their area of the school before Year 10 arrive.
  • School buses will be running.  The bus company has recently updated us that it will be compulsory that students wear a face mask on the school bus.  Students will not be allowed on the school bus if they are not wearing a face mask.  We have updated the FAQ and pink tab below about School and Public Transport for you.  Please click on the pink tab or view the FAQ for further details on this. We have included a link to show you how to make your own face mask if you require.
  • Students should not bring any equipment including bags, pencil cases and food and drink into school with them.  We will provide all equipment drinks and a snack in a sealed wrapper fro students.
  • In line with updated government guidance we will no longer be doing temperature checks for students as was originally stated on the Return to School Plan.  The risk of false positive temperature checks is high and we have been advised not to do this by Public Health England.

 

We are confident that the R value is now below 1 and the evidence presented to myself from Public Health England clearly shows a stable and declining picture of infection for Bolton.

All the information regarding returning to school is on this page via our FAQ section, the Full return to School Plan and the Pink Tabs below.

We are very much looking forward to see all our Year 10 students next week!!

 

Take care, stay safe!
Kind regards
Mr Mckeon

Why have we had to modify the original plan?

Unfortunately, government guidance issued to secondary schools has been modified several times and was changed after our original plan had been finalised. The current government guidance states:

Secondary schools should ensure that only a quarter of pupils in year 10 and year 12 are in school at any one time, including vulnerable children and children of critical workers in those year groups who are still encouraged to attend full-time.  

This meant that our original plan of bringing in a quarter of the year at different times on the same day was not possible.

The vast majority of the original plan still remains intact but we have had to change the timetable and series of lessons that each cohort will receive when they are in school.  Please find a summary of the main changes to the plan below (the details of these changes can be read in the full Return to School Plan or by clicking the Pink Tabs below)

  • Only one cohort of 52 students will be in the school at any one time on any one day and therefore the Weekly timetable has changed
  • Students will study English, maths and science on the day that they attend school.  Each session will last 1 hour 15mins
  • Please view our Transition Break protocols to see how we will do this safely whilst maintaining social distancing guidelines.

It is important to add that the government guidance is guidance and within this guidance there is an element of flexibility in order that schools can make this work for their own individual context and circumstances.  There are some key aspects of the government guidance we would like you to be aware of:

All schools are different, and it is not possible for government to set specific national guidelines that could be universally applicable.

…mixing between different groups of pupils should be kept to a minimum. We recognise that the range of subjects taught in secondary schools means that some mixing may be unavoidable to provide pupils with face-to-face support from subject teachers. We would expect that these groups are still smaller than normal. We would also expect schools to minimise mixing for arrival, lunchtime, breaks and departure. While in general groups should be kept apart, brief, transitory contact, such as passing in a corridor, is low risk

…ensuring sufficient distance between pupils is likely to mean classes are no more than half their usual size. However, this may vary due to individual school circumstances (for example a larger group could be taught in a larger space provided social distancing can be maintained and mixing is minimised). 

I understand that many parents and carers will have concerns around the school re-opening and there will be many questions you will want to ask.

This page aims to outline how we intend to re-open the school for Year 10 students in a safe way that adheres to social distancing measures and the latest government guidance as well as supplementing our remote learning strategy with some face to face learning

Return to School Parent and Carer FAQs

What date do Year 10 students return to school?

A: The planned date is Monday 22nd June, where they will take part in an induction on arrival of how to safely navigate the school building.

Is the Return to school plan still going ahead given the recent press releases and what some teaching unions have said?

A: Yes, in light of Boris Johnson’s announcement on Sunday 24th May the school will now re-open to Year 10 students to supplement remote learning on Monday 22nd June.  The induction process for students will start that week, there is an induction timetable in the pink tabs below.  We have completed a robust risk assessment and our return to school plan has had the approval of the Trust board following consultation with staff, parents and union representatives. If the government changes its plans further we will respond accordingly and will keep parents and carers informed.

Does this plan have the backing of the Local Authority?

A: Yes.  The local authority has been in contact with schools to emphasise the need for schools to prepare for re-opening given their own set of circumstances and context.  This may change subject to new government guidance and as a result we will respond appropriately if there is any change to government guidance

How will social distancing be maintained on corridors?

A: The following measures have been put in place:  (Please read the Return to school plan for further details on this)

  • Students on arrival will be met by their teacher and will line up 2m apart (please read the Arrival and Departure procedures for more details)
  • Teachers, with senior leaders will escort students to their classroom one class at a time ensuring students maintain a 2m distance as they walk.
  • Markers on the floor will indicate the direction of travel and the 2m distance as a guide for students and staff (see pictures below)
  • There will be a one-way system implemented throughout the school (see pictures below)

As part of the student induction process all students will have the opportunity to ‘walk through’ the procedures when they full return to school the week commencing Monday 22nd June.  We will be sending video guidance of how to enter the building.

Are school buses running?

A: Yes, we have been in touch with the school bus company who will be running the normal school bus service each morning in order to get students into school for 8.45am.  The bus company will be implementing strict social distancing guidelines.  The bus company has recently updated us that it will be compulsory that students wear a face mask on the school bus.  Students will not be allowed on the school bus if they are not wearing a face mask. Please click the Pink Tab below on School and Public Transport for more details on this and a link to show you how to make your own face mask if you require.

Will students need to wear full school uniform?

A: Yes.  This is for a number of reasons related to reducing the risk of spreading the disease and also so we can easily identify our students in the school and as they walk to and from school.  Our normal school uniform policy applies with a particular emphasis at this current time on no piercings or jewellery.  We would ask that students remove all piercings and jewellery before they set off to school. Blazers are optional due to the difficulty in cleaning them on a regular basis.

Do I have to wash school uniform everyday?

A: No.  We said it would be advisable to wash it more frequently, but this does not mean you have to wash it every day.

Do I have to send my child into school and will I receive a fine if I don’t?

A: No.  Currently the government is encouraging parents of Year 10 students to send their children to school but they are not enforcing this.  The government have said clearly that parents will not be fined if they choose not to send their children into school.  We would love to see our students again and help them with their learning but our first phase of planning is all about building confidence and we will work with parents and carers whatever they decide.  The reality is we are going to be working like this for potentially a long time and we want to try to take positive steps forward to allow everyone to have confidence that we can work safely and learn to live with Coronavirus.

I’m concerned about sending my child back to school as they have an underlying medical condition.  What should I do?

A:  Please see the government guidance below to help you with your decision.

It is clear that if your child is clinically extremely vulnerable or is living with someone in the same household who is clinically extremely vulnerable then you should NOT send your child into school.

Please view the government guidance on this below:

gov.uk guidance on shielding and protecting extremely vulnerable persons

Will PPE be used for staff and students?

A: We will follow the official government guidance on PPE below:

Wearing a face covering or face mask in schools or other education settings is not recommended. Face coverings may be beneficial for short periods indoors where there is a risk of close social contact with people you do not usually meet and where social distancing and other measures cannot be maintained, for example on public transport or in some shops. This does not apply to schools or other education settings. Schools and other education or childcare settings should therefore not require staff, children and learners to wear face coverings. Changing habits, cleaning and hygiene are effective measures in controlling the spread of the virus.

Will my child receive consequences if they come into school with a face mask on and will they be asked to take it off?

A: No.  We are operating in unprecedented times and common sense has to prevail.  We want to work with you as parents to build confidence with our students and we will be sensible about the decisions we make around this.

Will my child be able to socialise at break or lunch?

A: No. As part of this plan there is no break or lunch. Transition procedures between lessons are outlined below.

My child normally receives TA support or 1:1 support will they still get this?

A: No. It is very difficult to provide 1:1 support without increasing the risk of breaching social distancing.  Instead we will look to plan additional remote support for students via our SEND team should they need it.  The support we provide will be personalised around the needs of each individual child.

The government have also produced a series of FAQs to support parents and carers.  Please find a link to these FAQs below:

gov.uk – reopening schools and other educational settings from 1st June

Return to School Plan

If you would like to read the Return to School Plan in full please click below. Alternatively each section of the plan can be accessed via the pink tabs below for your reference.

This initial Phase 1 attempts to map out a return to school plan with the current 2m Social Distancing guidelines in place based on the current Government guidance as of 3rd June.

In order to do this safely and effectively Phase 1 will only have Year 10 returning to school to support Remote Learning in English, maths and science.

Aims of Phase 1:

  • To bring Year 10 back to school on a partial timetable each day to address misconceptions from remote learning in English, maths and science
  • Ensure the Year 10 curriculum is robust and prepares students adequately for the rigour of GCSEs 2021
  • To safely introduce social interaction whilst maintaining social distancing in order to raise morale and community spirit with Y10 students
  • To increase confidence and resilience with students and parents before moving to Phase 2

  • Which cohort and class is my child in?

    Each cohort is named after a famous scientist/epidemiologist who transformed the medical profession and saved millions of lives with their medical work and vaccines.  The reason for doing this is to develop confidence and hope in our students that there is a solution and this will not last forever!

    Monsieur Louis Pasteur was a 19th century French scientist, commonly known as the father of microbiology. Pasteur discovered that microorganisms caused fermentation and disease and his discoveries provided direct support for the germ theory of disease. He also developed the technique of pasteurisation, which we use today to preserve food products such as milk.

    Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish scientist/bacteriologist, who discovered penicillin, the first ever antibiotic which was being produced by a mould growing in one of his petri dishes. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 and has contributed to the saving of millions of lives all around the world, thanks to the development of antibiotics.

    John Snow was an English Scientist, responsible for the discovery of Cholera as a water-borne disease. During the 1854 outbreak, in Soho London, Snow mapped the cases against a street map and traced the problem back to a contaminated water well. He is widely considered to be the founder of epidemiology- the branch of medicine which deals with the study of and analysis of disease within a population.

    Edward Jenner was an English surgeon, who discovered the vaccination for smallpox. Jenner realised that anyone who had contracted cowpox, would not later contract smallpox. Upon testing his theory, Jenner discovered inoculation, eliminating smallpox and contributing to the saving of millions of lives with the modern day vaccination.

     

    Please use the table below to find out which Cohort your child is in and which teacher they will have for English, maths and science.  You will then need to use the weekly timetable to find out what time your child’s cohort should attend.  You will also need to refer to the Arrival and Departure section to find out the arrival protocols for each cohort.  We will be sending out further guidance on this to support you.

  • New Remote Learning Timetable

    As a result of this the remote learning timetable for Year 10 will change to reflect the time students have in school.

    Those students who are not in school receiving their face to face session in English maths and science will attend one of their Option Subject sessions remotely.  Remote Option Subject sessions will always take place in the morning.  These are opportunities for students to receive Live feedback and support from their Teacher.  Remote Learning for English, maths and science will take place in the afternoon.  The timetable below sets out how this will work.

    ALL Option subject sessions will operate from 9am – 12pm.   All students in each cohort who are not in school on that day can log into their session between 9am and 12pm for their Option subject to receive live feedback, support and guidance from the teacher at that time.  Students do not have to log in at these times as long as they complete all the tasks set to the best of their ability before 5pm on Sunday evening.  It is simply an opportunity for students to receive additional Live feedback and support if they need it.

    Each afternoon from 1.15pm to 3.30pm students will have the opportunity to receive live feedback, support and guidance from English, maths and science teachers in line with the timetable above.  Students do not have to log in at these times in English, maths and science as long as they complete all the tasks set to the best of their ability before 5pm on Sunday evening.  It is simply an opportunity for students to receive additional Live feedback and support if they need it.

    Catch Up Core  – this is an opportunity for any student to receive live feedback, support and guidance from teachers in English, maths and science.

    All Remote Learning and feedback sessions will be conducted through Google Classroom either directly via messaging or face to face via Google Meet.  To ensure security no other platforms will be used to conduct face-to-face sessions other than Google Meet.

    There will be a series of tasks to complete in the week for every subject.  This will be checked by teachers throughout the week with a final check at 5pm each Sunday to ensure tasks have been completed.  This should give students enough time to catch up on Friday and over the weekend should they need to.

    The current Remote Learning Planner will be set each week and will be available to view on the website.  This will explain the tasks students need to complete and will provide a link to Google Classroom with the classcode.

    We are also introducing ‘Feedback and Catch up Fridays’

    Feedback Friday’s will operate from 9am -12pm.  It is an opportunity for students to ask questions via Google Classroom to their teachers in option subjects in Year 10 (and English, maths and science in Y7 to Y9).  Teachers will be available live and will respond either via messaging on Google Classroom or will invite students to a face to face session via Google Meet if it needs a more detailed explanation.

    Catch up Friday will operate from 12pm – 3pm.  We have also removed the Boost session for students.  Taking into account feedback from staff and parents we have introduced a ‘Catch up Friday’ session which will allow students time to complete the remote learning tasks that have been set in English, maths, science and their Option subjects.

  • Arrival and Departure from School

    Arrival

    Students will enter the building via the staff car park from 8.45am if they are arriving by car.  Students who walk to school will arrive via the main student entrance to school.

    Students will line up at the front of school in the designated areas for their English class.  Their teacher will be there to greet them and this will be clearly labelled for students.

    Protocols for Front of School:

    • Parents will drop off students in the drop off zone of the car park at 8.45am. Parents will not be allowed to leave their car.  Staff must park their cars at the far end of the car park before 8.30am
    • Students will line up 2m apart as indicated by markings on the floor in their classes for English
    • Class teachers will be there to greet students as they arrive and instruct them to line up 2m apart whilst also keeping a 2m distance from the students
    • Classes will then be escorted in to the school one class at a time (largest class first). As the class enters the building they will have their temperature checked by a member of SLT and will wash their hands with the hand sanitiser.
    • The teacher will then escort students to their classroom along the designated one way route
    • SLT will then signal for the next class to enter the building and the process will be repeated until all classes have safely entered the building
    • Students will receive the same amount of allocated time each day so the last class to enter will be the last class to leave so they have same curriculum time.
    • The gates at the front of school will be locked once all students have entered the building.
    • Any students arriving late will have to buzz the intercom. A member of staff will meet them at the door maintaining a distance of 2m.  Their temperature will be checked and they will wash their hands using the hand sanitiser before entering the building.  They will then be escorted to their classroom.

    If students have a temperature they will not be allowed into the building and will be sent home immediately after contacting parents / carers.

    Markers will be painted onto the floor at the front of school in the following way to clearly indicate to students where to stand.

     

    Departure

    • Each cohort will leave following the exit which will be clearly identified.
    • Each class will be dismissed by a member of SLT so this is staggered and will be based on the last in last out scenario from the arrival procedures.
    • Students will place all their equipment in a A3 zip wallet and seal it.
    • Students will then stand behind their desk.
    • The member of SLT will lead students out of the classroom and with the teacher will ensure each student washes their hands using the hand sanitiser on the way out. Students will follow the member of SLT whilst maintaining social distancing measures.
    • The teacher will be the last person out of the classroom and will also escort students out of the building ensuring they maintain 2m apart as they do so.
    • Again, every student will wash their hands with the hand sanitisers when leaving the building. Students will maintain social distancing guidelines as they leave and will be encouraged to do this until they arrive home.
  • Protocols for transition breaks between lessons
    • Each class will be dismissed by a member of SLT so this is staggered and will be based on the last in last out scenario from the arrival procedures.
    • Students will place all their equipment in a A3 zip wallet and seal it.
    • Students will then stand behind their desk.
    • The member of SLT will lead students out of the classroom and with the teacher will ensure each student washes their hands using the hand sanitiser on the way out. Students will follow the member of SLT whilst maintaining social distancing measures.
    • The teacher will be the last person out of the classroom and will also escort students out of the building ensuring they maintain 2m apart as they do so.
    • Again, every student will wash their hands with the hand sanitisers when leaving the building. Students will maintain social distancing guidelines as they leave.
    • Students will be escorted to the Front of the School.
    • Students will line up 2m apart as indicated by markings on the floor in their classes for their next lesson (as they did when they arrived in the morning)
    • Class teachers will be there to greet students as they arrive and instruct them to line up 2m apart whilst also keeping a 2m distance from the students
    • Classes will then be escorted in to the school one class at a time (largest class first).
    • The teacher will then escort students to their classroom along the designated one way route
    • Before students enter the classroom they will wash their hands using the hand sanitisers which will be attached to the wall of each classroom.
    • SLT will then signal for the next class to enter the building and the process will be repeated until all classes have safely entered the building
  • Staff and Student movement around the site
    • Once students are in their classroom they must not leave that area for any reason unless there is a medical condition or they need to use toilet.
    • Toilets will be available for each Zone:
    • English = Mrs Pearson’s office/toilet
    • Maths and Science = Girls and boys toilets by canteen
    • There will be a one way system in place to move around the building.
    • There will be arrows on the floor which will be 2 meters apart to indicate which direction to move around the building and how far away you must stay from the person in front or behind you (see pictures below)

    Everyone must adhere to the one way system.  Students who are being escorted to lessons by staff will be exempt from following the one way system to ensure they go directly to their classroom by the shortest and safest distance.

     

  • Class Sizes

    Every classroom in the school has been audited to ensure we have measured the number of people that can safely fit in a classroom in order to maintain social distancing guidelines.  Classrooms will have no more than 12 people in them.

    Larger spaces, such as the sports hall will need to be used for some lessons.  In this large space and in line with government guidance we can increase the number of people in these rooms and still safely maintain social distancing measures.

  • Classroom Layout
    • Chairs will be removed from classrooms to indicate the maximum number of people allowed in the classroom to maintain social distancing guidelines
    • A number will be clearly displayed outside each classroom to indicate the maximum number of people allowed in each room.
    • Chairs will be placed in specific areas of each classroom and must not be moved.
    • The position of the chair will be indicated by a sticker on the floor.
    • Classrooms will be set out to appropriately fit a safe number of students in them.
    • Classrooms must not be re-arranged without permission from the site manager and Principal.
    • Hand sanitisers will be placed at strategic points along corridors and in every classroom being used so staff and students can regularly wash their hands on entry and exit to every classroom they visit
  • Expectations in Classrooms
    • Students and staff will use hand sanitisers on entry and exit to the classroom.
    • Teachers will teach in the same classroom for the day.
    • All classrooms will have socially distant fixed seating which should not be moved. Students should sit in the same seat at all times and must not move without permission from the teacher.
    • Teachers will keep a seating plan and a copy of this will be kept centrally
    • Desks and chairs should not be moved
    • Teachers should avoid movement in the classroom
    • Windows should be left open during the lessons unless it disrupts learning
    • Group activities and any close contact between individuals should be avoided
    • We will provide equipment for all students in an A3 zip wallet.
    • Students must not bring any equipment into school including a bag
    • Equipment must not be shared under any circumstances.
    • We will provide students with a bottle of water in their maths and science lesson. These will be placed on students’ desk.  Students must leave the bottle of water on their desk when they leave as cleaners will dispose of this when they clean the room.
    • We will provide an optional snack for students in their maths lesson. This will be a waffle/biscuit in a sealed wrapper.  These will be placed on students’ desks.  Again, students must leave the wrapper on the desk at the end of the session and cleaners will dispose of this in line with government guidelines.

     

  • Student Expectations
    • Students are expected to wear school uniform in line with the uniform policy. We will take a flexible approach to school blazers i.e. they do not have to be worn.
    • Piercings will not be allowed and students should remove all piercings before they come to school.
    • Students should not leave the classroom until the lesson has finished
    • Students with medical conditions who need to leave the classroom will be allowed to do so at the discretion of the teacher. Students who leave the lesson for medical reasons should be issued a pass and move straight to main reception and await further instructions.
    • Students who need to leave the lesson to use the toilet will be issued a pass at the discretion and professional judgement of the teacher. Students will be escorted by a member of the SLT to the toilet.  Every time a toilet is used it will be cleaned by our contracted cleaners
    • Students should avoid all physical contact in school and on the way to school… No hugs, shaking hands etc…
    • When in the classroom students should sit in the same place at all times and not move from this place unless instructed to do so by the teacher.
    • Students must maintain a safe distance from others between and during their lesson
    • Students should not share belongings with each other (stationery, food etc…)
    • Students follow the same behaviour expectations and the same behaviour protocols will be in place. There will be no consequence room.  Instead students will be placed immediately in isolation or will be sent home.  This will be at the discretion of the senior leader /principal in school at the time
    • Students that are non-compliant or pose a health and safety risk will be sent home immediately. This will be at the discretion of the Principal.

     

  • Students with Underlying Health Conditions

    Students who are clinically extremely vulnerable (have received a letter from the NHS) and are shielding should NOT attend school.

    • Students who are living with someone in their household who is clinically extremely vulnerable (has received a letter from the NHS) and are shielding should NOT attend school.

    Please view the government guidance on this below:

    gov.uk guidance on shielding and protecting extremely vulnerable persons

  • Actions if a student or member of staff shows symptoms of COVID-19

    Actions if a student shows COVID-19 symptoms:

    • Isolate in school in the conservatory
    • Inform parents
    • Send student home and advise they self isolate for 7 days and the household self isolates for 14 days
    • Encourage student to get tested
    • If test is negative – return to school and household ends self isolation
    • If test is positive moved to confirmed case scenario

    Actions if a member of staff shows COVID-19 symptoms:

    • Send home immediately
    • Inform HR before leave the site
    • Advise they self isolate for 7 days and the household self isolates for 14 days
    • Organise a test for the member of staff with their permission
    • If test is negative – return to school and household ends self isolation
    • If test is positive moved to confirmed case scenario

    In line with government guidance staff and students in all settings will be eligible for testing if they become ill with coronavirus symptoms as will members of their household.

    Actions if there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the school

    • Student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19
    • Individual receives medical advice and/or treatment
    • Class or group teacher/student was in contact with sent home and told to self isolate for 14 days.
    • Contact Public Health England (PHE) who will investigate and advise
    • If further cases are detected within the school again contact PHE who will investigate and advise.
  • PPE Equipment

    We will follow the official government guidance below:

    Official Government guidance on PPE:

    Personal protective equipment (PPE) including face coverings and face masks

    Wearing a face covering or face mask in schools or other education settings is not recommended. Face coverings may be beneficial for short periods indoors where there is a risk of close social contact with people you do not usually meet and where social distancing and other measures cannot be maintained, for example on public transport or in some shops. This does not apply to schools or other education settings. Schools and other education or childcare settings should therefore not require staff, children and learners to wear face coverings. Changing habits, cleaning and hygiene are effective measures in controlling the spread of the virus.

  • Hygiene and Handwashing

    All students will wash their hands as they enter and exit the building.  Hand sanitisers will be placed outside every classroom being used.  Students and staff are expected to also wash their hands every time they enter or leave a classroom.  Signage will be placed in prominent areas around the school to remind students and staff of this.

    Students will be reminded about the government guidance and this will be issued to all students as part of the Induction process.

    We would urge parents and carers to wash school uniform more frequently than they would normally.

  • Cleaning Routines

    There is dedicated cleaning and preparation time before the next cohort arrive each day.  Rooms will be cleaned after each session.  Cleaners have been trained in line with government guidance around COVID-19.

  • School and Public Transport

    Following the government guidelines we strongly encourage students not to use public transport when travelling to and from school.  Where possible students should walk or cycle.  The bus company has recently updated us that it will be compulsory that students wear a face mask on the school bus.  Students will not be allowed on the school bus if they are not wearing a face mask.  We have included a link below to show you how to make your own face mask if you require

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-wear-and-make-a-cloth-face-covering/how-to-wear-and-make-a-cloth-face-covering

    Special provision will be made for students to lock their bike to the school fence on the staff car park.  Students will need to provide their own bike lock in order to do this.

    Staff will need to park their cars at the far end of the staff car park near T6

    The school bus service will be running each day and will follow its normal route in order to that students arrive at 8.45am.  This is not a public bus and is only available to students at Little Lever school.  Students must wear their uniform in order that they are easily identifiable as a Little Lever student.

  • Student Induction Process

    Before students return to school an induction process for each cohort would take place.  The induction process will take place in the morning of each cohort’s day in school during the week beginning 22nd June. This would give us the opportunity to explain in detail the plans moving forward and the expectations of working safely in this way.

    Video guidance will be posted on the school website to support students and parents on Arrival procedures in preparation for students’ first day.

    Student Induction:  Week beginning 22nd June

    Induction will take place in the students’ first English lesson.  This will be video guidance from Mr Mckeon (Principal).  This video guidance will cover the following topics:

    • Welcome back… happy to see you!
    • Support available to you – bereavement, mental health support etc…
    • Social Distancing guidelines
    • Arrival and Departure procedures
    • Student expectations
    • How we will support you with Remote Learning
    • Equipment
    • Praise Culture

    PASTEUR – Monday 22nd June 9.00am – 9.15am

    SNOW – Tuesday 23rd June 9.00am – 9.15am

    FLEMING – Wednesday 24th June 9.00am – 9.15am

    JENNER – Wednesday 25th June 9.00am – 9.15am

    Students will follow the arrival to school procedures detailed in this document.  They will line up in their English classes on the yellow dots at the front of school.

  • Risk Assessment

    There is a robust risk assessment that is in place that is in line with government guidance.  The risk assessment is monitored by the Trust and union officials have been consulted.

    In the current situation there will always be a risk.  What the risk assessment does is minimise the risk by addressing a multitude of different areas in order to reduce this risk for students and adults in the building.

    The risk assessment looks at every aspect of the return to school in detail.  It covers the following items:

    • Social distancing
    • Classroom sizes
    • Arrival and departure from school
    • Movement around the school
    • The school day
    • School and Public Transport
    • Cleaning arrangements
    • Hygiene and handwashing
    • Clothing and Fabric
    • First Aid
    • Testing and managing symptoms
    • Medical rooms
    • Toilets
    • Fire Procedures
    • Contractors on site
    • Parents on site
    • Students with underlying health conditions
    • Staff and student induction programmes

    We have completed our draft risk assessment in line with government guidance and in collaboration with the Local Authority and the Bolton Learning Alliance to ensure we have covered every base.

  • Key Worker and Vulnerable Students Provision

    Provision will still be made for key worker students and vulnerable students each day.

    These students will be based in the I block (MfL block).  Some year 10 students may follow this plan.  Year 10 Key Worker and vulnerable students will be able to attend their planned English, maths and science sessions on the day their cohort is in school.  They will return to the I block from 1.15pm after these sessions have finished.

    Key worker and vulnerable children will follow the current provision put in place for them i.e. the current ‘Daily Plan’ document.  Their day will start at 8.30am and will finish at 3.05pm

    Break times and lunch times will be adapted so as not to clash with arrival, transition breaks and departure times of Year 10.

  • Lunch & Break Times

    LUNCH TIMES for YEAR 10: 

     

    Following this model it is proposed that students will not have lunch in school.  For Year 10 students parents and carers will be expected to provide lunch when they get home after finishing at 1.15pm

    BREAK TIME for YEAR 10:

    Following this model it is proposed that students will have a Transitional break after each session.  This will not be social time but an opportunity for students to break from learning , get some fresh air and then get ready for their next session.

    All litter must be disposed of properly.  No litter should be left on the floor.  It must be placed in a bin which will be by the door when students enter or exit the classroom.  Bins will be sealed at the end of the day by cleaners and disposed of in line with government guidance.  No hot food will be provided by the school.

  • Attendance Procedures

    We wanted to be clear that there is no directive for your children to attend school.  The government strongly advises that parents and carers send their children into school but this is a decision that lies with the parent or carer.  No fines will be issued for non-attendance and ultimately it is the parents’/carers’ decision whether or not to send their child/children into school.

    Reporting Your Child Absent during the Covid-19 Period.

    It is important that you inform the school if your child is going to be absent, for whatever reason, as soon as possible i.e. by 8.30am.

    You may do this in the following ways:

    1. By telephoning the school office 01204 333300
    2. By sending a text message 07592 328139
    3. By sending an email to Attendance-Staff@little-lever.bolton.sch.uk

    Please ensure that you state clearly one of the following reasons for absence:

    1. Will NOT be attending – parental choice
    2. Ill with CONFIRMED Covid-19
    3. Self-Isolating with Covid symptoms (7 days)
    4. Self-Isolating due to household/contact having Covid or symptoms of Covid (14 days)
    5. Shielding
    6. Ill – for any other reason other than COVID-19

    It remains the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform the school of student absence.

    If a student is expected to be in school, and no notification of absence has been received, the Attendance and Welfare Leader will endeavour to contact parents/carers by telephone.

    If a pupil who is subject to a Child Protection Order is absent without satisfactory explanation the Early Intervention Team will be contacted before 10.00am and asked to undertake a home visit.

    Where there is a safeguarding concern relating to a student’s absence, and the student is not subject to a Child Protection Order, the schools Designated Safeguarding Lead will be informed and a home visit may be undertaken as a matter of urgency.  The purpose of this visit is to establish the safety and well-being of the student.

  • Helping students return to school

    The Local Authority Educational Psychology service has produced a very useful newsletter, below, to support parents, carers and students returning to school. Further information can be found on our website Mental Health section.

  • Fire Procedures

    In line with government guidance should there be a fire alarm student will follow the normal fire alarm procedures.  In this scenario students will not be expected to socially distance, as per the government guidance there would potentially be an immediate risk of harm and therefore the priority would be to remove staff and students from the building as quickly and as safely as possible. 

    Students would line up in silence in single file on the back yard in their English, maths or science classes.  A register would be taken by the teacher of the class and we would follow our normal procedures.

    This will be part of the induction programme for students and staff.

  • First Aid

    There will always be a first aider on the school site.

    If a student or adult needs first aid the first aider must administer this if it cannot be done by the student or adult.  In order to do this staff can wear a pair of latex gloves.  Once used these items must be disposed of securely in a bin liner tied at the top.  This must then be placed in a second bin liner which will again be tied at the top and clearly labelled for the cleaning staff to dispose of appropriately.

     

We wanted to be clear with parents that there is no directive for your children to attend school.  No fines will be issued for non attendance and ultimately it is your decision whether or not you choose to send your child into school.

What we can say is that we have reduced the risk as much as we can to ensure we keep your children and our staff safe.  Moving forward we are all going to have to get used to living with Coronavirus for the foreseeable future.  We are taking small and cautious steps forward to ensure we can provide some face-to face teaching for your children whilst ensuring their safety and welfare is of paramount importance.
