Class RP 2021/22

We are delighted to be welcoming your children to Dunalley in September.
  
 
Having contacted preschools and met the majority of your children last week, we are pleased to let you know that your child will be in Mr Price’s class in September.  Please look out for the video messages and story times that Mr Price will post on Tapestry in the coming weeks. 

As you know, your child will be starting school on a part time basis.  Your child has been allocated either a morning or afternoon session (highlighted in your email) that start at 8.30am and finish at 11.15am or start at 12.15pm and finish at 3.00pm.   

The first day for our new reception children will be Tuesday 7th September (other year groups will return to school on Monday 6th September).   

We plan for all children to start on a full time basis from Monday 27th September when the school day will run from 8.30am to 3.00pm. 

As soon as the government has updated their covid guidance for schools we will be back in touch to finalise arrangements for the coming term. 

Yours truly,

Alison Godfrey
Headteacher
