Please see the updated documents listing the school's covid procedures. Please read them to reassure yourselves of everything that is in place within school, and also how the community and parents can help contribute to reducing the spread of coronavirus.

We have today (Thursday 22nd October 2020)  had a confirmed case of Covid 19 within Year 4.  All Year 4 children have been sent home to fully self-isolate for 14 days. No other pupils or family members of Year 4 children need to self-isolate at this point. This means the children from Year 4 may not leave the house for 14 days for any circumstances apart from to get a covid test. They should only get a covid test if they develop symptoms, isolation has to continue for 14 days even if a Covid test is negative.  Self-isolation also means that there should be no visitors to the family home during the period of isolation.  If any of the children in year 4 should develop symptoms, please inform school.  Please all stay safe.
