Guidance issued to us by Public Health England

Dear parent or carer,

As we continue to hear more about the coronavirus in the press and on social media, I am writing to reassure you that the academy is continuing to follow the latest advice and guidance issued to us by Public Health England.

Whilst the chance of being in contact with the virus is currently low in the UK, if you or your child start to feel unwell with any of the symptoms, which include fever, cough and shortness of breath, you should:

• Call NHS 111 for advice
• Keep away from others and stay at home

Public Health England also advise that we regularly wash our hands or use hand sanitiser, particularly after travelling on public transport. For detailed guidance, please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public.

Our number one priority is the wellbeing of our pupils and staff, so please do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. In the meantime, we will continue to follow the advice and guidance issued to us by Public Health England to ensure that all of the necessary precautions are being taken.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs A Atkinson

Headteacher
