Welcome Back
A big welcome back to those returning to OBS and a big welcome to those who join OBS for the first time.
I look forward to seeing you all on Monday morning.
Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September – Start of the day
As we start a new year, there will be some pupils (and parents) who are apprehensive about being in a new class, being with a new teacher or just coming back to school after being at home for the summer, so to help with this I will be opening the gates at 8:30 for Year 1 – Year 6 pupils and parents to gather on the playgrounds (On Monday and Tuesday only). Staff will then come outside, so you can meet them, update them on anything over the summer and help your child feel welcomed back. At 8:48 the whistle will blow and we will ask ALL parents to leave the school site. If parents are not with their child or do not feel as though their child needs them, pupils will still come to the playground with their peers.
From Wednesday 4th September, we will return to the gates opening at 8:40 and pupils taking themselves into class after parents say goodbye at the top of the gates. As in previous years, there will be members of staff available each morning on the gate to pass messages to, as class teachers are not available after 8:40 due to being in class.
