Dear Parents/Carers,

Coronavirus

We wanted to update you following on from the letter that was previously sent out at the beginning of March 2020.
 

We continue to follow government advice with additional guidance from Waltham Forest. We have been advised to ensure that there is the least disruption to the children’s learning as possible and are amending provision in school to reflect that. We will continue to monitor and adapt as the need arises and put the following in place so far:

 

• We are postponing and limiting school events
• We are continuing to take every opportunity to remind the children about good personal hygiene and we are encouraging the children to wash their hands at various key points during the school day.
• Being vigilant re symptoms in school from adults and children
• Assessing and amending plans on a daily basis

 

We ask all families and concerned carers to also follow government advice and seek medical support should you need it. Below is further guidance we have received from Waltham Forest that we ask all families to familiarise themselves with.
