Coronavirus - Advice for Schools
As you are aware Coronavirus cases are continuing to increase across the world, with some countries going into to lock down to reduce the spread and contain the virus as much as possible.
The Department for Education advice continues to be focusing on promoting good hygiene and we have been talking to the children in assemblies and classes about washing hands, respiratory hygiene by coughing and sneezing into a clean tissues, etc.
