Coronavirus Updates
5th January
Following government guidance we are closed to all children, apart from vulnerable students and children of key workers.
The Government is asking parents to keep children at home whenever possible.
Are you a key worker? The Government has published the list of parents who are classed as key workers, you can find that list here.
The most important message is that if children can stay safely at home, they should, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.
Keep an eye on our News page for all updates.
Learn at home
We’ve got a bunch of work for students to do at home. Check it out.

High temperature | Any new high temperature where your child feels hot to touch on their chest or back |
A new continuous cough | Coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours |
