COVID-19
What have we done to be Covid Safe?
- Worked with an external risk assessment company (rigorous checks, numerous site visits)
- Work very closely with Government, DFE and Public Health England
- Additional cleaning regime
- Covid Health and Safety Committee - made up of different staff in the school
- Risk assessments of vulnerable staff and students
- Hand sanitizer at every entrance and exit and in every classroom and workroom
- Antibacterial wipes in each workroom and classroom
- Increase signage and 2m distancing floor tape
- Schools within schools
- Year group bubbles
- Separate entrance and exit for students
- Staggered start times and lunches
- Masks in communal spaces since the beginning of the school year
- Specific staff workspaces that negate faculty workrooms
- Marking and feedback policy adapted to protect staff and students with the handling of books

Coping with Change
Partial school closures can be a difficult time for students and parents and whilst academic work will have been set by staff there are other aspects of the day to day school life that will be missing for many students.
We have collated a list of useful links and guidance to support both students and parents:
-
How to look after your wellbeing during the coronavirus outbreak
-
Looking after your mental health during the Coronavirus outbreak
-
Coronavirus: How to manage anxiety and OCD during the pandemic
This website has a complete guide with very relevant links:
