29/11/21: Guidance for Parents - Covid-19 Update

Dear Parents and Carers, 

Following the Prime Minister’s Covid-19 briefing at the weekend, we are writing to share key information based on the government guidance from November 27th.

  • Attendance for all pupils of school age remains mandatory. It is essential that you notify us of the reasons for any absence. 
  • If children are required to isolate, and they are not unwell, they will be expected to continue with their learning as per the remote learning plan. 
  • Staff will be wearing masks in communal areas of each of our buildings. 
  • Visitors to school will be required to wear a mask. This does include any parents in the foyer or office areas. 
  • Classes will not move back into bubbles at this point in time. 
  • Any planned school events will continue in line with our school risk assessments. 
  • There is a compulsory 10-day isolation requirement in place for anyone notified as a possible close contact to an Omicron case. 

We will continue to keep you updated as to any other changes necessary as further local authority and government guidance is issued. 

Thank you for your continued support; it is much appreciated.

Mrs Z Thewlis

Head of School
