Pupil Expectations

Attending school:

If you display any of the symptoms (a high temperature, a new and continuous cough, loss of smell or taste), please do not come into school.
If you are unable to attend school, please telephone school to let us know.
All pupils to wear their school uniform in-line with school policy, and bring own equipment, reading book, food and refreshments
Everyone is encouraged to walk or bike to school.
Pupils should arrive at school no more than 5 minutes before their allocated start time. It is vital that pupils are punctual and arrive to school on time
All to sanitise their hands on entering the Main Reception
Pupils will sign in at the Main Reception where LFT consent forms will be checked & checks made regarding the frequency of testing.
Staff will check that pupils have their face masks, these can be purchased at both receptions.
Facemasks and coverings are to be worn in communal areas including reception, corridors, toilets & the canteen.
Pupils will stay within their allocated groups, classrooms and remain in their allocated area of school.
Pupils to avoid touching walls, doors, and any surfaces where possible.
No parents/carers or visitors allowed on site unless by prior appointment.

Lateral Flow Testing:

Pupils to ensure their consent forms are completed.
Pupils to be tested twice upon return (these may increase to regular weekly testing- awaiting gov guidance).
Pupils to follow all Health & Safety protocols when in the Testing Centre to protect themselves and others.
Results will be shared with parents for those 15 years and younger, results shared with 16+ direct to pupil.
For those testing positive will be expected to isolate and leave the site for home.

Classrooms and year zones:

Everyone must always be mindful of social distancing.
Pupils must sanitise their hands on entering and leaving school & on entering and leaving classrooms
Staff will open windows and wedge open doors other than fire doors to allow as much natural ventilation as possible (weather permitting.)
Pupils will stick to the teacher's seating plan.
Pupils will use their own resources - pen, pencil, ruler, calculator and reading book. No personal equipment and resources are to be shared as this has the potential to increase the risk of contamination.
Pupils will take full responsibility for their exercise books, and ensure they are prepared for each lesson. Exercise books will remain in their possession and not left in classrooms.
Pupils will distribute resources used in lessons.
Pupils will be required to sanitise their desk area and chair.
Pupils will enter and leave by an external classroom door wherever possible under the direction of staff.
Pupils are to act responsibly always and not behave in ways that compromise the health and safety of others. This is especially the case on stairwells and in corridors.
We expect everyone to follow instructions and not put anyone at risk, if problems arise pupils will be removed from the lesson & with repeated issues, their behaviour will be considered as a serious breach of the schools’ Behaviour and Exclusion Policy.
Anyone experiencing symptoms must ask to leave the classroom and go to the student services medical room.

Other matters:

Staff will check the seating plan and take a register.
All must frequently wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds and dry thoroughly.
Use a tissue or elbow to cough or sneeze and use bins for tissue waste (‘catch it, bin it, kill it’)
Try to avoid touching your mouth, eyes, and nose.
Pupils bring in their own water as the water fountains are currently out of use.
Hand-dryers are marked out of use.
Normal fire evacuation procedures will be followed, we will congregate behind Creative Arts and Tennis Courts.

Leaving school:
