MONDAY 16th MARCH 2020 - UPDATE

The press conference from our Prime Minister late yesterday afternoon has made the following points very clear:

- Schools will remain open for now. Please read the attached letter  for details on how our school is currently responding to developments.
 

- The government is now recommending 'whole household'  isolation for 14 days should any member of the family have a high temperature or a new and persistent cough.

 The situation is highly dynamic and official advice is changing, sometimes quite rapidly, while responding to the unprecedented situation and with the scientific advice being given at the time. The school and governors are keeping a close watch over the emerging situation, speaking regularly and will continue to seek advice and guidance from the relevant authorities, informing parents and the school community as much as possible when changes occur.
