Shade Primary School

WELCOME

 Welcome to Shade Primary School

It is my privilege to be Head teacher at Shade and work with staff and parents in order for children to achieve their potential. It is our aim to provide children with a happy, secure and stimulating learning experience in order for them to become confident, independent learners with a thirst to continually learn and improve. Education is about developing young people so that when they reach adulthood they feel that there is a place for them in the world and they have the skills and confidence to seize it.

Every Child   Every Chance    Every Day

One way drop off system on the car park

As you can see from the photo above, we have installed a one way drop off system for drop off and pick up.

It is essential that these instructions are followed.

Arrival
 Arrive at your allotted time
 Do not enter the pathway until it is your allotted time
 Walk forwards with your child
 Hand them over to their adult
 Continue along the walk way and out of the exit end
 Leave the carpark and do not gather in groups

Departure
 Arrive at your allotted time
 Do not enter the pathway until it is your allotted time
 Walk forwards and as you reach the teacher you will be handed over your child
 Continue along the walk way and out of the exit end
 Leave the carpark and do not gather in groups or play on the playground

I am sure you are all aware that the cases of Covid in Todmorden have risen in the last week and our Year 1 class has had to close. We need to all do everything we can to prevent any further escalation. Within school we are doing everything that we can to minimise the potential for spread but this is all of no use if you are not following the restrictions in place outside of school.
