Advice for Parents

31st Aug 2020

Dear Parents and Carers, 

Everyone has a role to play in keeping our school safe and helping to stop the spread of COVID-19.  

 

Everyone should continue to and teach your child to: 

Wash hands regularly 

 Cover coughs and sneezes 

 Practice social distancing 

 Follow all public health advice and guidance at all times. 

 

What should I not do? 

X Do not send your child to school if unwell, has a temperature/fever, continuous cough, loss of smell or taste any other illness. 

X Do not enter the school premises if you are displaying any symptoms related to COVID-19 or do not send your child to school if you or someone in your household are isolating with symptoms. 

X Do not gather with others at the school entrance, school premises or outside the school building.  

X Do not attend school if you have returned from any country where you have to quarantine upon your return  

 

What should I do? 

Do inform us if your child is absent due to COVID-19 symptoms. 

Do seek medical advice and follow all guidelines for testing before returning to school. If you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 your household must self-isolate, arrange a test as soon as possible.  

Do arrival at allocated drop off and collection time. 

Do practice social distancing while waiting to access premises at drop off or collection times. 

Do keep your child with you at all times while entering and leaving the premises. 

Do park responsibly when arriving at school. 

 

For the health and safety of the entire school community we ask that parents follow these steps, failure to do so could see whole classes or indeed the whole school having to isolate for periods of time.
