Coronovirus
As a school we are in constant communication with Public Health England, the NHS and the Government regarding how we can make sure your child and your family are kept as safe as possible. The situation is changing and we will make sure any changes are relayed to you as quickly as possible.
We have continued to update risk assessments as the situation changes.
Our current safety risk assessment is here: Shenton C-19 Risk Assessment August 2021.pdf
Do not listen to social media or rumours.
Accurate information can be found on the World Health Organisation website or UK Government website. This includes what you can do to stay safe (also below), numbers of cases, and the situation across the world.
