Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Up to date information for parents and children

Latest advice

Following the guidance from the UK Government, our school has opened fully to all of our pupils from Nursery to Year 6.  We are able to provide lessons and online learning materials through our Microsoft Teams platform if any of our bubbles are required to remain at home and isolate.  Parents have received detailed information regarding our health and safety procedures including staggered drop off and pick up times.

Government advice is now as follows:

• stay at home as much as possible
• work from home if you can
• limit contact with other people
• keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
• wash your hands regularly

You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.

Ensure you are using trusted sources if you are using the internet to find out information regarding coronavirus.  Recommended sources are NHS or UK Government Response including the links in the “Useful Links” section below.
