Important Advice on Coronavirus
Wed 26 Feb 2020Dear Parents/Carers
Following the outbreak of Coronavirus the Government continue to provide updated information to schools and education settings.
The government is closely monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and is taking action at home and abroad.
Public Health England and the Foreign Office continue to issue advice for anyone travelling to specific areas.
Travel advice for those travelling and living overseas: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-advice-novel-coronavirus
Public Health England blog: https://publichealthmatters.blog.gov.uk/2020/01/23/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-what-you-need-to-know/
The latest information and advice can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
Advice for Parents/Guardians
You should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your children catching the Coronavirus.
There is no reason why your children should not continue to attend their early years, school or further education setting as normal.What action can you take?
A UK wide campaign has been launched to provide clear advice on how to slow the spread of Coronavirus.
Please help to support the campaign which promotes basic hygiene practices.
As always, if you have symptoms of a cold or flu, then there are measures you
can take to stop germs:
- Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or
sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
In particular we would like to make parents aware of information regarding Returning Travellers, including those who may have travelled to Italy over the half term break:
Returning travellers
Based on the scientific advice of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) the UK Chief Medical Officers are advising anyone who has travelled to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau in the last 14 days and is experiencing cough or fever or shortness of breath, to stay indoors and call NHS 111, even if symptoms are mild.
There is enhanced monitoring of direct flights from these areas. Passengers will be told how to report any symptoms they develop during the flight, at the time of arrival, or after leaving the airport.
These areas have been identified because of the volume of air travel from affected areas, understanding of other travel routes and number of reported cases. This list will be kept under review.
If you have returned from these specific areas since 19 February, you should call NHS111 and stay indoors and avoid contact with other people even if you do not have symptoms:
- Iran
- Specific lockdown areas in Northern Italy as designated by the Government of Italy
- Special care zones in South Korea as designated by the Government of the Republic of South Korea
- Hubei province (returned in the past 14 days)
If you have returned from these areas since 19 February and develop symptoms, however mild, you should stay indoors at home and avoid contact with other people immediately and call NHS111. You do not need to follow this advice if you have no symptoms.
- Northern Italy (defined by a line above, and not including, Pisa, Florence and Rimini),
- Vietnam
- Cambodia
- Laos
- Myanmar
You will be aware that this is a rapidly changing situation and we would advise concerned parents to keep updated by checking the website above or by referring to the national Press.
Specific coronavirus advice – Italy
In addition to existing Public Health England guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-information-for-the-public) regarding travel from areas affected by coronavirus, the following should be noted in relation to Italy.
If in the last 14 days you have travelled from the following areas in Northern Italy:

Please follow this advice even if you do not have symptoms of the virus.
If you have returned from other areas of Northern Italy (defined by a line above, and not including, Pisa, Florence and Rimini) since 19 February and develop symptoms of the virus
You should immediately:

NSPCC Sponsored Event Monday 3rd February 'Get up and Boogie'.
Fri 31 Jan 2020Any child who did not recieve a sponsor form today can still collect sponsors for Monday.
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you know, the NSPCC visited our school yesterday and delivered their Speak out. Stay safe. assembly to share information with your child about how they can keep themselves safe from harm and get help if they have any worries.
It was a very worthwhile and empowering session for both pupils and teachers. They spoke to the children and staff about the valuable work they do across the country, and talked about how important it is for everyone in our school community to join them in their ‘fight for every childhood’.
Talking about the Underwear Rule with your children
The NSPCC’s work in schools will help encourage conversations about staying safe – and they have a number of child-friendly materials to help you carry on the conversation afterwards. That includes ‘The Underwear Rule’, a simple way for parents to help keep children safe from abuse.
The guide uses the rules of PANTS to teach children that their body belongs to them and them alone. You can find out more and download the free resources at nspcc.org.uk/pants
If you’d like to know more about the NSPCC’s work, or take a look at the wide range of information and advice which is available for parents and carers, please visit their website nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/
In support of the fabulous work of the NSPCC, on Monday 3rd February, we are holding a fundraising event where all the children will take part in ‘Drop your books and Boogie’.
On the hour every hour, each class teacher will play a song of their choice and for 2 – 3 minutes the children will drop their books and get an opportunity to dance.
All the children have been given a sponsorship form today and we would like to encourage you to support our school in supporting this very worthy cause. Due to the short period of time that your child has to gather sponsors (as we only received the sponsor forms today) we would be most grateful if they could either choose to collect sponsorship or provide a general donation to the charity if you are able.
Once again we thank you for the fantastic support that you continue to give to our wonderful school and children.

It gives me great pleasure in sharing with you the fantastic news that our school has been recognised under the Real Schools Guide 2020 as being in the top 10 schools in Lincolnshire.
