COVID Update 5th November

5th November 2020

A Message from the Head Teacher

 

Dear Parents / Carers,

With the new national lockdown in place please can we ask that parents / carers do not arrive early and wear a face mask at collection and drop off while they are on the school site. School staff will be doing the same when they collect and bring the pupils out to you. Our staff will also be wearing masks in school when they are in communal areas or needing to cross the communal space of another bubble. 

The guidance is also asking that all secondary aged pupils should wear masks on school transport. While this is not possible for many of our pupils and they are exempt, please can those pupils who are able and to whom it will cause no distress, wear masks while they are on the transport. 

 

While the updated guidance does not specifically refer to special schools, you may find it helpful and it can be found by clicking here.

 

I am sure that many of us are feeling more anxious with the new lockdown coming into effect and the increasing rates of Covid 19 transmission nationally. We will continue to do everything that we can to keep everyone in school as safe as possible while continuing to give the best learning environment and care we can. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns and thank you for your ongoing support.

Helen.
