How you can help?
The greatest support that you can offer is by being vigilant and that you are familiar with the latest government guidance on the link below.
- COVID-19 - UK Government response
We appreciate that there is a great deal of anxiety around the potential spread of Coronavirus in the UK and wanted to reassure you that we are taking all necessary precautions, following advice and closely monitoring the situation.
At the bottom of this page you will find a number of links to FREE online education resources that your child can access should they be off school.
What we are doing
- Hand hygiene has been reviewed and enforced in support of the latest government guidance on transmission prevention
- Cleaning has been reviewed and increased throughout school
- Work will be uploaded weekly onto the year group pages so that if your child is required to isolate at home they are able to access work.
