This past year has been a difficult one for all, no less than for our young children. Especially those experiencing their ‘firsts’ in life.
Our wonderful children in reception have had many firsts over the last year that have looked very different to how we may have liked.
With that said, I am asking for support in asking our lovely school to reconsider parents being allowed at our reception children’s first ever sports day.
We all understand the difficulties attached due to covid regulations however, we feel that the country has opened up enough ie, Euros with capacity at Wembley, outdoor gatherings etc.
Us as parents will respect and uphold all of the rules and distancing put in place and go above and beyond to be able to see and be there for our children on their first day.
The event is outside & there seems to be plenty of space to accommodate enough social distancing.
We are grateful for your time in advance.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way so many of you have stepped up to support this. It was never my intention to lead something this big but seeing so many parents come together like this is truly humbling.

This would mean so much to us as parents and our children who have missed out on so much in their first year at school.
50,000 in a sports arena but can't see your own child have fun in the open air. I'm fully with this! I'm fully vaccinated. As are most parents now
It's the tradition. Spring boards family bonds
Fingers crossed
I sign the petition
Outdoor grassroots sport events can take place for up to 1,000 people or 50% of a site or venue’s capacity (whichever is lower). And we will adhere to the guidelines for spectators to gather in groups of up to 30.

if the football stadiums can be packed to view the euros, if open spaces surrounding the euroevents can be packed, even indoor pubs, surely there can be a way for spectators to be able to see their children take part in sports day, surely socially distancing shouldn't be an issue in an outdoor setting. Please reconsider
