Panto Visit Information
Dear Parents and Carers,
A reminder that on Wednesday 7th December 2022, the whole school community will be travelling to the Sheffield Lyceum Theatre in order to watch this year's panto, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.
The performance will start at 1.00pm, meaning that we will need to leave school at 12.00pm in order to arrive and settle the children in good time. The pantomime will last for approximately 2.5 hours.
As we will need to leave at noon, the children will have an earlier lunch (from 11.00am) so that they can be ready when it is time to depart. Though we expect to return to school by 4.30pm our actual arrival time will be dictated by:
- the length of the performance
- the time taken to depart the theatre safely afterwards (and make our way to the coaches)
- traffic on the journey back to school
We do expect to return to school between 4.30pm and 5.00pm and ask that those collecting the children please wait on the playground and not on the pavement outside school.
Mrs Ramsden will open the gates at 4.15pm so that you can make your way on to the playground to wait for the children.
Staff will be stationed on all exit gates in order to prevent children leaving the site unaccompanied.
As it will be dark when we return from the theatre (and the children will be tired), staff will need to take great care ensuring that they keep track of every child. We therefore ask you to be patient and to wait on the playground for your children, rather than on the pavement. Waiting on the pavement outside school will cause congestion and make things more difficult for the adults supervising the children.
Once in school the children will collect their things, before being released from their classrooms on to the playground (in the usual way). The younger children will be brought down, and because it will be dark, we ask that you make your self known when called.
Please note that the children will not be released to anyone on the pavement outside school.
If there are any significant delays we will notify you by text, so please ensure that your details are up-to-date, so that you receive the alerts. Thank you.
JPAC on Panto Day!
JPAC will operate as usual when we return to school. Children need to be booked in in the usual way.
If you have any questions please call or email us. Thank you.
Kind regards,
F Barratt - Headteacher
