Significant Cleaning Regimes

  • Each classroom is cleaned thoroughly every day after school.

Ventilating our teaching spaces:

  • Handwashing and sanitising will be encouraged throughout the day.

 

The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are now listed as:

Children and young people aged 18 and under can get coronavirus (COVID-19), but it's usually a mild illness and most get better in a few days. 

Symptoms of COVID-19 can include:

  • a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours 

  • a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste 

  • shortness of breath

  • an aching body 

  • a headache 

  • a sore throat 

  • a blocked or runny nose 

  • loss of appetite

The symptoms are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu.
