Welcome
Returning to school in the Infants/Foundation Phase after half term.
February 11th 2021
To parents/guardians of Greenhill pupils
The Minister for Education announced last Friday that all Foundation Phase pupils (also known as ‘Infants’, ages 3-7) will return the week after half-term.
We have no information as yet as to when our Junior children will return to face-to-face learning.
We are going to stagger our infant children’s return to school in order to assess the situation in terms of our Risk Assessment. Your child will be in Group A, B, C, D (children of key workers) or E (Nursery rising 3s); the timetable for each group is below. If your child is in one of our Foundation Phase classes (Dosbarth Coch, Dosbarth Enfys, Dosbarth Melyn and Dosbarth Gwyrdd), we will text you to let you know which group they are in, and school times.

Packed lunch must be provided as school meals aren’t being served at present, and we expect our pupils to be in school uniform.
Due to the new strain of the virus, it is vitally important social distancing is maintained, and that all adults wear facemasks in our school grounds. Only one adult should accompany each child/group of siblings in order to minimise the number of people on site.
Even though the infant children will be returning to school, the Welsh Government is keen to stress that behaviours outside of school should not be relaxed. Children should not be playing with other children, even those in their school contact group, outside of school, and they definitely should not be entering each other’s homes. We know this may be difficult, but please take these steps in order to protect our community. The Local Authority will be sending further guidelines for parents regarding the return of infant children shortly.
Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have any queries, please get in touch.
Take care.
Lisa Jones,
Headteacher
