CHRISTMAS CONCERTS & FIRE REGULATIONS

NOTICE REGARDING CHRISTMAS CONCERTS & FIRE REGULATIONS:

(This information has previously been relayed through the October Newsletter, available to download via the school website. Paper copies are available upon request from the Office.)

We have been informed that our audience limit for public performances in the Hall is 200 people. This presents us with a serious issue as all phases of the school are now so large that it is impossible for us to accommodate all parents and family members that want to come to a performance at once. EYFS contains 121 pupils, KS1, 150 pupils and KS2, 270 pupils. In recent years, at the KS1 evening performances, the Hall has been so overcrowded that the situation was not safe if an emergency evacuation had been required.
As your children’s safety is our top priority and fire regulations have to be followed by law, we have no choice but to radically change the format of our Christmas performances.
Therefore, the KS1 performances will both take place during the afternoons. On Wednesday 13/12/17, the performance at 2pm will be for parents  of Year 1 pupils only and on Thursday 14/12/17 at 2pm the performance will be for Year 2 parents only.
KS2 performances this year will just include pupils who are in the dance and music clubs as well as those who play recorder or are in the school choir. There will be a ticket only performance at 6:30pm on Monday 11/12/17 and an afternoon performance at 2pm on Tuesday 12/12/17.
Early Years performances will follow the usual format of a “Pears” and “Apples” performance on the 8/12/17 and 11/12/17 respectively.

THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN AS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
