A VERY WARM WELCOME TO CHESHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL!

(Please use the tabs above, together with their drop-down menus, to access our wide variety of pages all about Chesham!)

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!

School is fully open to all children using the staggered start times issued at the end of last term. (*see below*)

If you have more than one child attending school, and they start at different times, you are welcome to drop all the children off at which ever time is the earliest according to the timetable.

To reduce the “crush,” only one parent should bring children each day; preferably walk or cycle to school if possible and no dogs should accompany you.

We will meet you at the school gates and staff will walk the children up to school.

We ask any parent coming onto the school premises to wear a face covering.

At home time Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be collected from designated areas on the playground whilst Classes 7, 8 and 9 will be walked through the car park to be collected at the car park gates. Arrival and exit times will be staggered as follows and we ask that you stick to them strictly from the very first day:

Arriving at 8.45 a.m. Class 8 and Class 6 at the car park gates and Class 1 at the footpath gates. These classes to be collected at 3.00 p.m.

Arriving at 9.00 a.m. Class 9 and Class 5 at the car park gates and Class 2 at the footpath gates. These classes to be collected at 3.15 p.m.

Arriving at 9.15 a.m. Class 7 and Class 4 at the car park gates and Class 3 at the footpath gates. These classes to be collected at 3.30 p.m.

Foundation Stage: To arrive via the footpath gate at 9.15 and be collected via the footpath gate (Bumblebees) and Car park gate (Honeybees)

There is no before or after school provision initially as we try to keep class bubbles separate and work the staggered start and finish times.
