Useful Information for Parents/Carers

Dear Parents/Carers

We have received useful guidance from the Department of Education regarding actions that will help to minimise the risk of Coronavirus being spread in schools and I attach a copy of the information poster we have received giving advice on washing hands and using tissues if sneezing or coughing.

We are also attaching a second poster, which is on display in each of the children's toilets, showing them how to wash their hands.

The following is a useful link to the NHS hand washing song to help you support your child.

If you or your family have recently been on holiday to any of the areas affected, do please follow the guidance that can be found via the link below.

Thank you for your support.
