As you will be aware, the government announced further measures yesterday for the prevention of the spread of Coronavirus. As working parents ourselves, we understand that the  implication of these measures for children and parents are enormous, but the safety and well-being of our communities is paramount and we ask you to adhere to them.

Anyone with a continuous cough or high temperature needs to self-isolate for 7 days. Anyone else living in the household needs to self-isolate for 14 days.  The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill. All members of the household should stay at home until the 14 day period has ended.

There are further recommendations for families who have vulnerable members and we are recommending for some members of our school community who fall into these categories to stay away from school.  Please refer to the guidance:

We have no further information on planned closure and are following developments and announcements closely. We will keep you informed via the School App, website and email systems.

Home learning, as always,  is accessible via the website (curriculum pages) and will be updated by staff with comprehensive packs for children who are at home.

We thank you for your co-operation.
