Building Faith, Developing Potential, Promoting the love of God

Dear Parents and Carers,

April 2022 Whole School COVID-19 Risk Assessment

This staggered dismissal helps ensure the safe and orderly dismissal of all children from St Richard’s at the end of each school day.

It is vitally important that pupils are always picked up on time. Parents and carers who are collecting children in more than one class where pick-up times clash must prioritise the collection of younger pupils.

With many thanks for your continuing support,

Mr Murray
