Dear Parent/Carer,
I am writing to update you on the Coronavirus. Please use the following link for the daily/weekly information for schools and the public regarding the virus.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public
We are continuing to follow Public Health England and the Department for Education Guidance for Schools.
We are checking contact surfaces and cleaning them regularly. We are ensuring additional cleaning of areas such as toilets and busy spaces are cleaned with anti-bacterial products. The school is well stocked for soap and cleaning resources. We are reminding pupils about hand washing, teaching them how to do this well and have put up posters around school to remind them.
We do not have any reported cases of Coronavirus in or related to school at the current time and will continue to monitor this carefully. We will then follow any current advice from PHE and the DFE accordingly.
We meet regularly as a leadership team to update, plan and provide for strategy moving forward, should the issue get worse or Government advice changes.
To help us ensure the safety of students and good hygiene please can you ensure the following:

To help us ensure the safety of students and good hygiene please can you ensure the following:
- Remind your child about good hygiene, most importantly regular hand washing.
- Report any contact with known infected people or travel to reportable areas as advised by the NHS/ PHE (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#lockdown-areas).
- Use the NHS 111 service for medical advice (the school cannot give this)
- Report any Coronavirus infection or contact to the school to support us in making decisions for the wider safety of all students, some of whom may be vulnerable and have underlying health conditions.
- Do not repeat or share unsubstantiated “fake news”, gossip or rumour. Only use the Government issued advice and guidance for reference. This causes huge and unnecessary problems for the school in managing this issue. At best it causes unnecessary panic, worry and anxiety in children.
We will continue to keep parents and carers updated as things change.
Kind Regards,
Kind Regards,
