As you are aware we are still living with CV19, therefore the following mitigations will remain in place until
further notice:

- Limited movement around the school
- Handwashing and sanitising – children must wash and sanitise hands 3 times per day (washing on
entering classroom, at break time and before going home; sanitising at break time and lunch time).
- Face coverings – worn whilst on school site by adults/parents
- Sanitising of pupil school bags, lunch boxes and water bottles before and after school by parents

-Lunch/dinner in bubbles
- Morning play in year group bubbles
- No mixing of class bubbles other than during year group play - outside

 All communications with parents are sent
home electronically via email
- Homework - to resume as usual
- Money- limited money coming into school, Please use school money to pay online
- Parents – reduced access to school. They have also been advised not to send their children to
school if sick and if concerned to seek medical advice.
- Track and trace – in place for visitors and class bubbles should there be a confirmed case of
CV19. All advice of PHA followed.
These are for the protection of pupils, staff and the wider school community. We hope that at some point this
can be removed. 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back. Enjoy the last few days of your holiday.
