Latest Government Guidance on Coronavirus and Pupil Absence Reporting
Dear parent / carer
Given the latest announcement by Boris Johnson last night, we will be reviewing a number of things during the course of today. Please bear with us and give us some time while we do this.
The latest advice is now for whole households to stay at home for 14 days if any member of household has the symptoms of Coronavirus: a new, persistent cough or fever. There are now also a range of identified vulnerable groups of people. As such we understand that a number of children will not be attending school today.
PLEASE could we ask that you DO NOT ring the school office to report an absence in these unprecedented circumstances. This will be a huge help to us as we have a lot to do today in response to the announcements last night.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. We will update you through the day of any measures we may take given the latest government advice. Our priority is keeping our school community safe and healthy.
On a final note, one of our next steps will be to finalise some plans we were already working on to provide learning opportunities for children who are not able to be in school. But again, please bear with us while we work through this.
Yours sincerely
Kate Byrne
Headteacher
