June 1st 2020: We have been contacting all families by telephone over the last few weeks following the Government announcments about the wider opening of schools. Springwater has remained open to about ten percent of pupils throughout the school closure period and during the holiday periods. Last week we introduced even stricter social distancing and small 'bubble' classes to minimise mixing between staff and pupils. This week we are establishing this even further, with the same few pupils so that we can practice arrival, departure, lunches, play and one way systems into and out of classrooms. Once established we will be considering the introduction of a very few extra pupils into the established bubbles. Additional pupils can only be introduced following a health risk assessment and this can only be done at weekly intervals.  This is essential to ensure that what we introduce is both sustainable and safe for all concerned.
