Lunchtime and Breaks
Lunch times and break times are staggered to reduce the numbers in any one area. These are in the same zones as mentioned above.
Cleaning
There is a cleaner on site from mid-morning. She will clean surfaces, toilets and door handles etc. throughout the day. Electronic devices are cleaned at the end of the day and any equipment used by pupils is also cleaned. Cleaning wipes will be in all classrooms, so staff can ensure main contact points (door handles, switches, tables, chairs etc.) are wiped regularly. Outdoor equipment i.e. go-karts must have contact points wiped clean before being put away.
Movement Through School
There is a strict one-way system in place. Side external doors must be used to move to the front of school, hall etc. Arrows will be on the floor and must be followed to avoid zones meetings. Movement through school to be minimised, when possible, and children will not be sent on messages. Staff will use walkie talkies daily and these will be in use to ensure effective communication and sharing of relevant information throughout school across the course of the day.
