Where to find the latest information |
We continue to follow government guidelines, and all users of the building are asked to take the recommended precautions. Current advice from the Department for Education (DfE) is that schools stay open and children attend. Should there be any change in this, or should there be an occurrence of Covid-19 within the school community, we will of course inform parents and carers immediately. In the event of school closure, we will also inform all parents and carers of how work will be provided. For further information, please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19
