I LEARN TERM 4 FOCUS: ATTITUDE Friday 13th March 2020 A message from the Headteacher: Dear Parents/Carers Coronavirus (Covid-19) We are continuing to follow the Government advice in relation to the coronavirus outbreak currently affecting the UK. Guidance did change yesterday when the Prime Minister spoke to the country regarding moving to the delay phase in response to the outbreak. At present, all schools are to remain open and this was made clear in his briefing. We do of course need to take sensible precautions in school to ensure that we are not putting staff or pupils at any risk. The main symptoms of the virus are a persistent dry cough and a temperature/fever. Anyone with a new cough or a fever should now be self-isolating for 7 days. The new guidance also states that there is now no need to contact NHS 111 when you are self-isolating unless your symptoms deteriorate. Only hospital admissions will now be tested for the virus. Please DO NOT send your children into school if they are displaying symptoms – no matter how mild. Attendance marks will not be affected if you are self-isolating due to the virus. Staff are monitoring all children carefully and for the health and safety of all, we will be sending children home immediately if any symptoms are exhibited in school. If this happens your child cannot return to our school for 7 days. If you are keeping your child at home to self-isolate, then please notify the school in the normal manner using the absence line 01793 427749. I appreciate your support with this matter and I hope you understand that we must follow the guidance and take these precautions for the safety and well-being of all.
