**PLEASE WEAR A FACE COVERING WHEN YOU DROP OFF AND COLLECT YOUR CHILDREN**
MESSAGE FROM AVRIL
Dear Parents and Carers,
We were delighted to welcome the children back on the 5th January, and to share all their brilliant new Year resolutions!
Unfortunately, the Omicron variant is still spreading widely in the community, so please continue to wear a face-mask at all times when on school premises unless exempt, and maintain social distancing. Please do not send your child into school if they are unwell in any way. If they or a member of your household develop any potential covid symptoms, please get a lateral flow or a PCR test as soon as possible.
You can find our Covid contingency plan HERE and our current risk assessment HERE. We continue to maintain strict levels of infection control and encourage high levels of hand sanitising, respiratory hygiene, and ventilation. The school will continue to be cleaned to very high standards.
With warmest wishes for a very happy and healthy 2022, and huge appreciation for all your continuing support,
Avril, Staff and Governors.
