Coronavirus Update
Please see attached letter from Mr Jeckells with an update on the School re-opening in September.
The school has established a COVID Protocol which follows the guidance issued by the Department for Education which can be found here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools.
The principles we will follow to keep our pupils, staff and visitors safe are:
- Making sure that people who are ill stay at home.
- Making sure everyone practises good hygiene techniques, frequent and thorough handwashing, insistence on “catch it, kill it, bin it” for coughs and sneezes.
- Cleaning the school even more intensively, with additional cleaning staff and equipment, paying particular attention to public spaces, toilets and touch points. We will all, staff and pupils, need to play our part in keeping our school safe.
- Active engagement with NHS Test and Trace arrangements.
- Adjusting school routines to reduce contacts amongst those on site. We will do this by keeping year groups separate as much as possible, particularly at the start and end of the day and at lunchtimes.
The best defence against Coronavirus remains regular and thorough washing of hands using soap and water.

Anyone who suspects that they have symptoms of the Coronavirus should immediately isolate at home and follow the guidance published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance.
