Schools Financial year end is fast approaching could all parents please check your parentpay accounts and ensure that they are up to date. Thank you for your continued support in this

You will be aware that on Tuesday, morning one of our pupils was knocked

down by a car outside school.. The response of both our staff and parents

was quite remarkable and because of that care, we managed a very

difficult situation calmly, efficiently and above all, compassionately. We

would like to express our gratitude to all involved and thank you whole

heartedly for the kind words of support. What a wonderful, loving school

community we have!

On a serious note, in school we have been highlighting the importance of

staying safe near roads. Could you please reinforce this at home with your

children to raise their awareness of the dangers so we can minimise any

future risk.

CORONAVIRUS: PUBLIC INFORMATION

The Government and NHS are well prepared to deal with this virus. You can help too. Germs can live on some surfaces for hours. To protect yourself and others: • Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. • Bin the tissue, and to kill the germs, wash your hands with soap and water, or use a sanitiser gel. • If you have arrived back from China within 14 days follow the specific advice for returning travellers. This is the best way to slow the spread of almost any germs, including Coronavirus. Find out more at gov.uk/coronavirus

The government is closely monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and is taking action at home and abroad. The overall risk of Coronavirus to the UK remains moderate. However, we understand that people may be concerned where there are children, students or staff returning from or visiting China. Public Health England (PHE) and the Foreign Office (FO) has issued advice for anyone travelling to the area. This can be found at: · www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china · www.gov.uk/government/news/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-and-avian-flu-advice-for-travel-to-china Latest information and advice can also be found at: www.gov.uk/coronavirus Please share this advice with your staff and cascade as appropriate. Advice for parents/guardians You should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your children catching the Coronavirus. There is no rea-son why your children should not continue to attend their early years, school or further education setting as normal. We recognise that some families or children may be planning to travel to China during the forthcoming half term period. If so, please refer to the FO’s latest travel advice via the link above. What action you can take A UK wide campaign has been launched to provide clear advice on how to slow the spread of Coronavirus. Please help to support the campaign, which promotes basic hygiene practices, such as regularly washing hands and al-ways sneezing into a tissue, to stem the spread of viruses.
