Coronavirus Information

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.
ONLY one adult from each family to escort their child(ren)	Please do not bring any other family members or older siblings onto the site at any time. ONLY 1 person per family PLEASE	Reduces the number of people on the school site. Limits the exposure of individuals to large groups.
2m distancing	Please respect the social distancing of 2 metres distance from others when walking round the site.	Limits contact between people from different households.
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.
Gathering on the site or at the school gates is not permitted	Keep moving, keep away from other people and avoid catching up with ‘friends’ whilst on the school site.	Reduces the risk of crowds, bottle necks and upholds Government National Restrictions.
Parents are responsible for ensuring that their child adheres to social distancing measures when coming to and leaving school.
