I didn’t have a single doubt about my year one daughter returning to school from the minute I watched the video. I honestly don’t think you could do any more than you have done/are doing Plumberow! You have been amazing from the outset and all the way through this whole situation.....whether it’s been reassuring us as parents,  reassuring the children on that very strange first day or just trying to keep some kind of normality for us all at this very testing time. I don’t think we could ask for any more. Betsy was initially nervous but it didn’t last ... (i was more nervous about getting her through the gate, given her previous meltdowns!!) but she is absolutely loving being back at school and beams coming through the gate each day and when she comes out of an evening, you have made her a very happy little girl. Thank you for everything - absolute super stars all of you 💫

Return to school

My son and daughter returned to school last week in the key worker and year 6 groups. They are both very happy to be back. The school has made their return a calm and welcoming experience. We are very grateful for the careful approach you have taken. It seems to be  working very well. Thank you.

All the worry I had been feeling in the days leading up to my daughter returning to school melted away the moment I saw her beaming from ear to ear when I collected her from her first day back last Wednesday. Thank you plumberow for being outstanding in preparing for the phased return of pupils, regular updating parents and making our children feel safe and secure at school during this period of time. I'm so pleased we chose plumberow. Ava is really enjoying socialising with her friends and being in a learning environment again with the teachers. Mrs Mason

My daughter returned to school last week in Year 6.
I can’t thank the staff enough for taking so much time to make the school safe for the children returning in their new learning groups/ classes.
She really enjoyed school last week and is looking forward to being at school again this week.

I would just like to say a big Thank You to all the staff at Plumberow. Remy has been going in for a couple of months now he was very upset on his first day but returned the next day happy. He has been having a lovely time and made lots of new friends. I can’t thank the staff enough for taking care of him through this difficult time. The process for going in now is seamless and well thought through. All staff have been caring and understanding so thank you once again.

We were nervous about our yr 1 child returning to school but he loved it. He ran in excited on his first day and came home with a big smile on his face.
The drop off and pick up are well organised and we fill everything has been put in place to make the school safe for the pupils return. Thank you for all your hard work.

We were worried about sending Max into school but he came back happy and relaxed. The children from the different year groups are getting on well and the staff make the day friendly and enjoyable. He is so happy to be back. We feel the measures the school have put in to protect the children and staff are thorough and well thought out. The communication to parents is ongoing and clear.

I was concerned about sending my daughter back last Wednesday as I wasn't sure I had made the right decision.... so glad she returned, she has really enjoyed the last few days and I now know it was the right decision....the organisation and work that plumberow have put into welcoming the children back is outstanding...Thankyou.. x

My boy has been going since April as I am a keyworker so have seen some changes over the past months, it was lovely for my boy to have more year 6 pupils at school, the parking was good too as staggered times, it all ran very smoothly. I have only positive comments to make for all staff, pupils and parents. Thank you for being so well organised plumberow and for providing such a safe, happy, learning environment for our children

Our daughter returned to school this week. She is in year 1 and has absolutely loved it. She’s enjoyed making a new friend and reacquainting with her old Jelly Beans friends. By Friday she had me running down the road in the morning. The drop off/pick up is very well organised and runs quickly and smoothly. My older child (year 3) has enjoyed coming with me to pick up as it gives her the comfort of seeing the teachers and some friends that she’s missed whilst being off. Thank you Plumberow for your hard work and commitment through all this.

Ela was a little nervous about going back and there were a few tears in the morning. As soon as she got to school she received a lovely warm welcome from the teachers and couldnt wait to go in! It was a very calm atmosphere, the children knew exactly what to do , in fact it didn't actually feel that different and this put the children at ease.  I know that a lot of work went into preparing the school so a massive WELL DONE to Plumberow.  See you on Monday 😁

Thanks to the detailed plans in place before our daughter returned back to school enabled us to know that we made the right choice to allow her to go back. Our daughter was included in the decision to enable her to have the confidence to return. She has loved being back for her final few weeks before she leaves Plumberow forever and she can not speak highly of everything she has already done in the first week back.

My daughter absolutely loved school this week. She has been full of beans and so excited everyday.
The drop off an pick up has been run really well and morale has been great.
Thank you for all the hard work and continued support your giving to our children Plumberow x

Congratulations to all the Plumberow staff for getting a safe and working school up and running again and for all your efforts to keep the children motivated and working during home schooling.  I am proud to say ‘my children attend Plumberow Primary who have been amazing throughout.’

Thankyou to all the teachers at Plumberow for making this first week so much fun for my Yr6 son. He’s really enjoyed himself particularly the variety of work and activities and has come hone showing us the magic tricks he has learned. We really appreciate all the hard work that everyone at Plumberow has made to keep the children happy and safe.

My 6 yr old has had an amazing return to school, he was so ready for it and has enjoyed every aspect so far. The teachers have done an amazing job putting in the alternative arrangements, Pick up and drop off works so well. Thank you so much for teaching my son during these difficult times.

My two boys have loved being back at school, the routine and social interaction has been extremely beneficial to their mental well being. I have nothing but praise for the school who have gone above and beyond to ensure a safe but not scary environment. The school have been fantastic at communicating all new information and ensuring that all of our questions have been answered. The boys are looking forward to coming back tomorrow.

Thankyou Plumberow for being a calm in the storm and doing the best that you can all throughout lockdown and school return. My two have loved being back and it's been the best thing for them. I hope the other years can go back soon. Liz Wall

Brilliantly organised and with enough familiarity that the children don’t find it daunting. I’ve been incredibly impressed with the whole return to school process. My son is absolutely loving being back with his friends and back in school learning.

I’m pleased my Husband and I made the decision. To send our Daughter back to school, she really needed the stimulation of social interaction as she was starting to struggle with her emotional well-being. It has been a smooth transition and the staggered pick up/drop offs work very well. My son (who is in a non-returning year) is very upset he can’t go back yet! Keep up the good work PPA!

I’m so grateful that I am able to send my little boy back as others haven’t had that option. The school runs have been smooth and actually a lot quicker than before. My little boy loves being at school and needs the mental stimulation as well as the physical. He has loved being back with his friends and has settled in fine and has not mentioned any concerns in regards to the school set up. I would like to take this moment to thank the school and for everyone who has contributed to the efforts to get back to some kind of normality for the children.

Our daughter has been waiting to go back to school and we would send her back if we personally would feel it was safe and the right time. She has had a fantastic 3 days already and  she comes out full of stories and excitement. Definitely the right decision for us. Thank you to Mr Barton and all the staff for making the kids’ return a safe and smooth one.

Plumberow has been fantastic with the transition of children returning to school, lots of very informative emails and videos so the children knew what to expect and most importantly they have settled well and thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Thanks so much and a huge well done to all the staff and kids for taking it in their stride!

We have a child in year 1 and another in year 4 so initially we were very hesitant about sending one back without the other. However, we gave our daughter the choice, advising things would look different to how it was before school ended, but regardless she really wanted to return to school anyway which I thought was a massive credit to the school. Both drop off and pick up has been extremely smooth, all children seem to be genuinely excited to be back. I can’t fault the process. It’s been great for my daughter to be back with her class friends too. All positive from us, so thanks to Mr Barton and all the teachers and staff for making the transition for my 6 year old a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

My son is in year 6 and is really happy to be back at school. Everything was so well organised. All the children were really happy.

I was hesitant sending my children back as didn't want it to be their lasting memory of plumberow going off to Greensward in September.
So glad we decided to go back my children have loved every minute.
Plumberow gone above and beyond to make this a fun "normal" experience
No complaints whatsoever

Well organised, without being daunting for the children.  A lovely welcome from the staff.  My children got so much out of being back with their friends and teachers, a real morale boost.

I feel that it was well organised and children coped with it all brilliantly. My child is in foundation Queen Elizabeth group and it would have been nice if we knew beforehand who the teacher was going to be.

Brilliant, could not of asked for better. Well organised, simple and most importantly the children are really enjoying themselves.

It has been difficult to drop two children off 40 mins apart. The school run took 1 hour.
Could the playground be utilised as well, then there would be no need for staggered drop/off or collection?
