Dear Parents/carers,
RE: Gwent Covid-19 Community Level of Risk – VERY HIGH
Thank you for your continued support with helping us keep our school communities as safe as possible in relation to Covid-19 so far this term. You may be aware that the community risk level across the Gwent region has now been increased to Very High. This change in risk level means that we have needed to review our school based risk assessment and increase the number of control measures that we have in place.
In order to continue to keep our pupils, staff and families safe we will would like to remind you of that Face Masks - these should be worn by all adults whilst on school site – including at pick up/drop off time.
Social distancing measures are in place across the school between adults and between adults and children where possible.
We ask that you please continue to support us by not sending your child to school if they are unwell. If they, or any member of your household, are experiencing any of the main three symptoms of Covid-19, then please self-isolate immediately and book a PCR test as soon as possible.
It is important to note that we are facing significant staffing challenges at the moment and our ability to arrange supply staff to cover classes for unwell staff members is becoming increasingly difficult. As such, it may become necessary to revert to distance learning for individual classes at short notice as we may become unable to maintain safe staff/pupil ratios. If this does become the case we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible using our normal messaging services. We will only take this course of action if we have no alternative.
We thank you in advance for your continued cooperation and support with the above matters. We completely understand how difficult some of the restrictions above may be for you and your family, and are working hard to minimise the disruption to children and their education.
Yours sincerely,
Lisa Jones
Headteacher
