Coronavirus Information

From 3rd September 2021, wherever possible, we will warn and inform parents of known COVID-19 positive cases that may present a risk to others. If we are made aware by a child's parent or the NHS, we will send a text message to the parents if there is a positive case in the year group and direct them to read this letter: COVID-19 Warn and Inform Letter to Parents

Please follow the link if you are interested in the Government’s latest guidance for parents - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/what-parents-and-carers-need-to-know-about-early-years-providers-schools-and-colleges-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/what-parents-need-to-know-about-early-years-providers-schools-and-colleges-during-covid-19 .

Polite reminder:

If you (or anyone in your family) have coronavirus symptoms: get a PCR test and stay at home. In the event that a child tests positive, it is essential that we are alerted via the reporting facility on our website – Positive COVID-19 Test Result Form so that we can continue to support the test and trace service and help keep people safe.
Rapid lateral flow tests help to find cases of COVID-19 in people who may have no symptoms but are still infectious and can give the virus to others. If you want to take part in regular testing at home, please order your free rapid lateral flow tests via the government website .

Although we are endeavouring to keep parents informed about the situation, we are not in a position to provide health advice, or to advise regarding self-isolation.

Coronavirus Protective Measures

Site Plan - One Way System

The table below summarises some of our protective measures and aims to explain why they are necessary.

Our Protective Measure	What do you need to do?	How does this help?
A ‘fluid’ start and end of the day	An adult can bring their child to school at ANY time between 8:30 and 8:45am and collect at ANY time between 3:10 and 3:30pm.	Reduces the number of people on the site at any one time.
‘Stop’ points	Please wait behind these points until 8:30am and 3:10pm, queueing at a 2m distance and facing forwards until the classroom doors are open.	We need to avoid parents having to congregate in groups outside each classroom before the children are dismissed.
Pedestrian one- way system	Please follow the arrows and not cross the barriers in place.	Keeping everyone moving and facing the same direction – working very effectively.
Yellow semi-circle 2m from classroom door	Please remain outside the semi-circle marked around the classroom door.	Helps protect the staff dismissing the children by providing a 2m distance.
Children to stay with parents at all times	Please keep your child with you at all times.	Limits children breaking bubbles that we have set up in school and have to maintain throughout the day.
