Statement from the Head (29th November 2021)
Covid: New Guidelines
Following the Government’s announcement on Saturday and new information received over the weekend, I am now writing to inform you of how we will continue to operate as safely as possible whilst not detracting from the educational experiences of our children.
For the last 3-weeks of term we will be operating the following:
- Increasing hand washing/gel use.
- Increasing the wiping of tables/equipment between lessons.
- Wearing masks in corridors and communal areas (unless exempt).
- Masks in classrooms will remain optional.
- Reducing the numbers of visitors to school. This will continue to be by appointment only.
- ALL visitors to the school will be required to wear masks (unless wearing exemption badge).
- Reviewing all events and holding them in the safest way.
- Issue students/parent advice and guidelines in relation to online learning (should this be required).
The relatively low levels of Covid amongst staff/students indicate that we should be confident in how we are all operating as safely as possible. As I am sure you are aware, we have continued with a split break approach and open door/window policy which has had a positive impact for students.
The Government have also indicated the requirement for all students to be tested prior to returning after the Christmas break. This will unfortunately result in a staggered return in January. I will update you with further information prior to the end of term.
It is essential that students continue to test at home twice a week (Sunday and Wednesday) and report the result on the student link.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mr Graham
Headteacher
A reminder that all students should continue to be tested every Wednesday and Sunday and report the results on the student link. If the LFT is positive please email the text/email notification to covid@saintedmunds.org.uk and then book a PCR. Only the student who is positive should isolate until the result of the PCR is received. Please email covid@saintedmunds.org.uk the result of the PCR whether negative or positive.
