Welcome To Freemantle
What a year it has been! During a normal academic year we would hold a number of events at the academy to give you and your child a chance to see what life is like at Freemantle. With everything that has happened this year that course of action has not been possible, so we have created this page on our website as a hub for all the information you'll need about starting at Freemantle.
We will be uploading videos, pictures and information throughout the coming weeks with everything we feel that you, new parents, may need.
Please keep checking back as we will be adding new content regularly. Feel free to contact nina.myszkowski@freemantleschool.co.uk
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for SEPTEMBER
We continue to get things ready so we can have all of our wonderful children back safely from Thursday 2nd September (please note Nursery and Reception parents will receive an additional letter outlining transition arrangements and start dates). This following is based on the information we have at present, and subject to any further covid restrictions.
We will continue to modify our risk benefit statement and adjust this as required, but hope we can get back to some level of ‘normality’ whatever the new normal is!
There are some things we NEED you to read very carefully and help us with to keep the children and staff safe; please see below;
Beginning and end of the academy day- (There will be signs at the Mansion Road entrance to help you all).
We will continue with the longer school day next year to help our children ’catch-up’ on lost studies during the covid lockdowns.
Start of the day.
End of the day.
UNIFORM- we hope things will be back to normal, so we encourage all of our pupils to attend in school uniform or school colours.
COATS- please ensure your child is dressed for the prevailing weather conditions. A coat is essential as pupils will go out to play every day unless the weather is too inclement.
PE KITS- should be brought into school from 2nd September, they should then be taken home at the end of each week for washing, unless in Reception where children should come to school wearing PE kit on PE days as directed by the teachers.
SkoolKit Uniform Discount
For all new starters Skoolkit are offering you 10% off all school uniform purchased from our Totton Store during the following dates:
Saturday July 17th – Friday July 23rd
The week we have selected is for a small group of individual schools, this is to ensure we have the best possible stock levels for your school and to offer you the safest and most comfortable shopping experience.
Customers have loved the more personal shopping experience we have been offering by limiting the number of customers in our shops, so we will be continuing with the same format.
We appreciate at peak times during this week there could be queues outside the shop, probably the Saturday and after 3pm on week days so, if possible, try to visit outside of these times. We will move customers through as quickly and safely as possible and a member of staff will be on hand to assist you.
• Please wear a face covering when entering our shop.
• Use the one-way flow system, following floor markers.
• Use of fitting rooms will be only if necessary.
• As much as possible please come prepared with size information.
