Today in assembly we talked about the Coronavirus and reminded ourselves of the best ways to stay protected, as shown in the poster below.

As a school we receive a daily update from the Department for Education (DfE) on the current situation as well as guidance from the NHS. At all times we fully comply with this advice, as summarised on the poster below. The safety of the children and staff is our priority.
The DfE has a special helpline to answer questions about COVID-19 related to education. Staff, parents and young people can contact the helpline as follows:
Phone: 0800 046 8687
Email: DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk

This is an evolving situation and we will keep you fully informed.
