Covid-19

Handwashing – As you are hopefully already aware, we introduced additional measures in school and nursery last week. Children must now wash their hands on arrival at school in the morning and also after each playtime. (We have always asked them to wash their hands before eating.)

We ask that any parents/other adults coming into nursery, the other classrooms or visiting the school library, also wash their hands on arrival. We thank you in advance for your co-operation with this.

Pupil absence – We recognise and fully understand that parents may have chosen to self-isolate their child, due to their concerns about Coronavirus. This could be because their child is unwell and showing signs of illness or because they have been advised to by their doctor or other medical professional, due to their child’s health and medical conditions.

We ask that you inform school no later than 9:30 am if your child is absent and the reasons why, so that it can be recorded on our attendance registers.  Thank you.

Home-learning – A letter will be sent out this week with information and guidance on activities for children to do at home, in the event that the government decides to close schools.
