  Hampshire County Council - Advice to Parents/Carers re: Coronavirus

   

  Dear Parent/Carer,

   

  National advice for travellers from areas affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19) has changed this week, and we understand that parents and carers may have questions about this. The school is following national guidance that has been issued for educational settings.

   

  The latest accurate information on Coronavirus (COVID-19), including the current situation in the UK and details about the virus and its symptoms, can be found at www.nhs.uk/coronavirus. This is updated regularly and includes the most recent advice in relation to travel from certain parts of Italy - so we encourage you to visit the website for the latest information.

   

  The UK’s Chief Medical Officer continues to advise that the risk to individuals in the UK remains low.

   

  As a school, the most important action that we can take to protect against Coronavirus and other germs is to promote good hand and respiratory hygiene. We continue to encourage the children and staff to do the following and ask that you support this at home too.  The advice is to:

   

  • wash hands often - with soap and water or using alcohol sanitiser if handwashing facilities are not available.
  • cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue, then throwing the tissue in a bin.
     
    We are following national advice and the school is operating as normal. Should the situation change or if we are given different advice, we will communicate this to you.
     
    If you believe you are at risk, then please contact NHS 111 for advice.

  We now have more than 12 children away from school with chicken pox. Chicken pox is a contagious virus and  the incubation period before the spots appear is two weeks. Children are able to come back to school if all scabs are crusted over and they feel well. Please follow the link below for more information on chicken pox and a list of chicken pox DOs and DON'Ts.

• Keeping Children Safe

  Thu 13 Feb 2020

  Today we introduced a new safety procedure into school called 'Lockdown'. We explained to the children beforehand what this meant and talked about situations when we may need to hit our 'Lockdown' alarm. We then practised the procedure with the children and they were fantastic!

   

  We have sent a letter home explaining what a lockdown situation would mean for our children and we would like to reassure you that we continue to do our very best to keep your child safe at all times.
