Coronavirus Information

Dear Parents and Carers  

Please find below the link to the latest DfE guidance for schools on the Covid-19 virus which I hope you will find helpful.  We are doing all we can to follow this guidance in school.  Please do remind your child/children about the basic hygiene advice in this document.

DfE Guidance for Schools on Coronavirus

Please refer to this advice if you have any concerns about your child/children. 

The DfE have also launched a helpline to answer questions about COVID-19 related to education. Staff, parents and young people can contact the helpline as follows:

Phone: 0800 046 8687

Email: DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk

Opening hours: 8am to 6pm (Monday to Friday)

The DfE have stated that no school should close in response to a suspected (or confirmed) COVID-19 case unless directed to do so by Public Health England.

Public Health England has a dedicated webpage with a range of posters and digital materials at:

Coronavirus resources

Copies of posters and reminders to wash hands will be around school. Please do support us by reinforcing the advice on the poster to your child/children. Toilets are checked regularly to ensure there is soap available. Cleaning routines have also been stepped up. We will be reminding pupils daily about handwashing and using tissues. I would be really grateful for your support in this situation, we all need to work together to protect everyone in our school community.
