Please read the following letter or click this LINK for the County Council advice on symptoms and the action to take.

Dear Parents

lease find attached PCC guidance on the essential procedures to follow if your child displays any symptoms of COVID – 19. It has been lovely to have the children back in school this week and to see how well they have settled into their classes. They have also adapted well to the measures put in place to maintain their safety and that of adults working within the school.

 

Please can I remind all parents and adults supporting their children arriving or leaving school to maintain distancing of at least 2 metres from others outside of your family group. Also it is important to use the available parking spaces and not to engage in extended conversations with other parents whilst on site. When on site please keep your children close by you and don’t let them run and play away from you. As soon as all your children are safely in school please leave the site immediately.

 

What to do if your child is displaying symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19)

One or more COVID-19 Symptoms:

  • A new, continuous cough
  • A high temperature
  • Loss of, or change in, their normal sense of taste or smell
