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?]]> 2020-06-07 13:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615144965 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615147421 Brilliant, could not of asked for better.

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 ]]> 2020-06-07 13:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615163501 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615169707 My son is in year 6 and is really happy to be back at school.

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.]]> 2020-06-07 13:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615185065 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615185358 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! ]]> 2020-06-07 13:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615185358 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615215163 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. ]]> 2020-06-07 14:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615215163 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615215363 pleased we made the decision for her to return best thing for her.]]> 2020-06-07 14:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615215363 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615219919 2020-06-07 14:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615219919 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615225194 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. ]]> 2020-06-07 14:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615225194 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615231872 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! ]]> 2020-06-07 14:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615231872 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615239333 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.

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. ]]> 2020-06-07 18:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615522822 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615536169 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 😁]]> 2020-06-07 18:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615536169 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/615696173 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.

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.

She really enjoyed school last week and is looking forward to being at school again this week.

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.

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. ]]> 2020-06-09 06:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/618163233 https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/622749671 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 💫]]> 2020-06-11 16:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jbarker37/394hpc3k57oanckx/wish/622749671
