Dear Parents and Carers

 

Self Isolation

 

You may be concerned over the coronavirus outbreak and how this might impact your child’s learning.  In the event of self-isolation we will provide the following links for work at home.  Should the government make a decision regarding whole school closure or school contingency plans warrant closure, we will provide specific work for pupils and send a letter explaining how to access the work as well as help from teachers.

 

Each child in self-isolation will have access to the following:

Children in Year 6 will also receive additional work from their SATs revision books.

 

Children may be feeling anxious about this developing situation and it is difficult to know where to start with approaching this with children.  Tips for parents to begin talking to children about Coronavirus can be found by following this link: https://parentinfo.org/article/three-tips-for-starting-a-difficult-conversation-with-your-child?utm_source=Parent+Zone+Newsletter&utm_campaign=d7c5afa46e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_03_13_05_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1ee27d9000-d7c5afa46e-179219017

 

School will strive to keep you up to date via letter, the school website, school app and our text message service of any developments.  Please make sure if you have had a new phone number recently, you have updated this with the school office. 

 

If your child may be experiencing symptoms of Coronavirus such as a high temperature or new continuous cough please follow the guidelines found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-people-with-confirmed-or-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection

 

Thank you for your continued support.
