Dear Parent/Carer,

I am writing to reassure you that it remains the case that that we have no reports of anyone connected with our school, staff or students, confirmed as having Coronavirus (Covid-19) at our school. We know you will have been hearing a lot about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the news and I am writing to both reassure you and to share the latest information with you.

The government has announced significant changes in health advice. The key one is that if your child develops, or has recently developed a new continuous cough or a high temperature, they must be kept at home for a full 7 days from when the symptoms started. Further information can be found here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-people-with-confirmed-or-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection

Please do make yourself aware of its contents and how it may affect your family. If you have a child who has symptoms and needs to remain away from school, please let us know. The health of all of our students and staff is my top priority. I am closely monitoring the advice from the Government and the NHS and will be regularly  updating our website to keep you informed.

The school is planning and preparing for possible closure and will be talking to students about how we will continue to support their learning , should school be closed. This is particularly crucial for those students in years 6, 11 and 13 who are about to sit important external examinations. It is also really important that we have your most up-to-date contact details, including mobile phone numbers and email addresses, so please let the school office know of any recent changes.

Thank you for your continued support and co-operation in what is a challenging time for us all

Janis Davies

Principal
