Covid-19
April 2022
Covid-19 guidance has changed in school. Your child can attend Brightside School if they have symptoms of a minor respiratory illness e.g. runny nose. If your child has a high temperature or is not well enough to attend school, please keep them at home until their temperature has returned to normal and they feel well enough to attend school. If you are unsure, please email enquiries@brightside.sheffield.sch.uk or ring the school office for further advice.
This is the provision that was provided for pupils at Brightside throughout COVID-19.
Drop off and Pick up procedures
The procedures for drop off and pick up are outlined below. These will continue in April 2022.
Parents / carers will drop their child off at their drop off point at the time given. Any parents / carers who arrive earlier than the time stated below will be required to wait in the waiting area. Children arriving after their drop off time will need to be dropped off at the main entrance. At home time, parents/ carers are requested to wait in the allocated area.
Parents / carers who have children in more than one year group, will need to drop their older child off first, then wait in the waiting area until the next drop off time. If parents / carers are unable to do this, then please drop the younger, Y1 or reception aged child off at the hall door in the morning club. This service will be free of charge from 8.40am.
Drop off and collection times
The Site Manager will be on duty at the cobbled road gate. A teacher and teaching assistant will be on duty on the main yard. Drop off and pick up times are listed underneath. From 2.9.21 they will be:
Class 5 8.30 3.20
Class 2 8.35 3.25
Class 7 8.40 3.10
Class 10 8.45 3.15
Class 8 8.50 3.00
Class 9 8.55 3.05
Children will be asked to line up in boys and girls lines. This is so they can wash their hands in the toilets on entry into school.
Morning & after school provision
Brightside will continue to provide a morning and after school provision, chargeable from 8am to 8.40 am and from 3.25 to 4pm. This provision will be based in the hall from September until further notice. Parents/carers are requested to drop off their child at the entrance to the hall on the main yard or using the main school entrance before 8.20am.
Please contact the school office (phone or email) if you require this service.
Lunchtime provision
Lunch time will be spread over a longer period to allow for the staggered entry and exit time. Children can choose a hot meal or grab bag from the menu. Children can also bring their own healthy packed lunch.
Resources and equipment
Your child can bring a water bottle with their name on and their reading bag. Pupils and staff will be expected to wash or sanitise hands regularly. Enhanced cleaning procedures will remain in place for classrooms, areas or school and resources.
Homework
Paper copies of homework will be provided to all pupils in from reception to year 2 on Fridays. All letters and other communication will be provided electronically. Please check your emails regularly and your phone for text messages.
