Believe in Yourself - Anything is Possible!
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Yesterday the Government announced some changes to the general Coronavirus guidance that is in place in England (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-sets-out-new-measures-as-omicron-variant-identified-in-uk-27-november-2021) including advice on wearing face coverings in shops and public transport. Today, the DfE have also updated its guidance for schools including advice that staff wear face coverings in communal areas around school. As previously, it is not advised that primary age children wear face coverings however.
In light of the concerns about the Omicron variant and increasing cases, I would like to encourage all parents entering the school site to wear a face covering when doing so and to keep a respectful social distance from staff and each other. Parents that are entering the school building, e.g. the school office, attending meetings in the Parents' room, attending assemblies in the hall, dropping off children into Nursery or Reception classes, etc. will be asked and expected to wear a face covering. Staff meeting with parents will also wear face coverings when doing so.
I hope parents understand and respect the reasons for making these slight changes. We wish to continue to carry on with work in school as it has been over the last couple of months but we also hope to keep all families and staff safe whist doing so.
Many thanks,
Mr A Beale
