Class Structure for September8 July 2020 (by admin) |
Dear Parents
As already communicated with you last week, the Government have issued their plan for schools returning in September.
There is a huge responsibility placed on Schools to make decisions which balance the Health, Safety and Well-being of the children and the educational impact of a full and balanced curriculum.
The Governing Body are meeting next week to look at the issues and to plan accordingly. I would like to gain the views of our parents in this consultation to enable all stakeholders to be considered in the process.
Our options for Reception, Year One and Year Two are:
Option 1:
|
AM |
PM |
|
Reception (18) |
Reception/Y1 (26) |
|
Year 1 (14) |
|
|
Year 2 (20) |
Year 1/2 (26) |
This would be the same set up as the current class structure. The children will be taught in their individual year groups for Phonics, English and Maths in the morning and for one afternoon of science. For the other 4 afternoons, we would have two mixed classes and the Y1 class would be split. The children would be distanced as much as we can e.g. in the mixed classes - the year groups would not be sat together, line up separately etc..
|
Pros |
Cons |
|
Maths and English taught in Year Groups Smaller Groups for Maths and English More flexibility for teaching staff and support staff
|
Potential cross-contamination of a larger group of children Potential for all 52 children to be sent home in the case of a positive test – this is decided on an individual risk basis and would not always be the case |
Option 2:
|
Reception/Year 1 Class (26) |
|
Year 1/Year 2 Class (26) |
This would be a split of the Y1 class and the children would be taught in mixed classes all day, every day and two separate bubbles.
|
Pros |
Cons |
|
Contamination limited to 26 due to smaller bubbles Positive impact on budget
|
Teachers would not be able to teach English and Maths separate Reception (EYFS) Curriculum is different to Y1 so more difficult to implement Teaching group sizes bigger |
