Coronavirus (COVID-19) website page
In order to keep you informed of the unfolding Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and how it affects our school, we have created a 'Coronavirus (COVID-19)' page on our website, which is accessible via a link under the 'News' section of the homepage, and also under the 'More' dropdown menu.
We are receiving regular updates from the Department for Education and Public Health England. These will be shared on the school website on the new 'Coronavirus (COVID-19)' page. We will also use this page to inform parents of any changes to normal school rhythms related to Coronavirus (COVID-19), such as a need to close temporarily.
As the situation is rapidly changing with five schools in Devon already closed (2/3/20), it may be prudent to check the website each day before travelling to school.
Planned procedure for school closure
In the event of school closure, we will post this on the website before 7.30am. We will also send an email informing you and place a notice of closure on the school gates. All communication will then take place via email so please ensure we have your correct contact details. From the point of closure, there would be no access to the site until it is considered safe to re-open the school.
Preventative Measures
We would like to draw your attention to the preventative measures, section 5 Covid-19, Gov guidance.
"There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus".
Public Health England (PHE) recommends that the following general cold and flu precautions are taken to help prevent people from catching and spreading COVID-19:

- put used tissues in the bin straight away
- wash your hands with soap and water often – use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available. See hand washing guidance
- try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
