Updated Government Guidance

In a recent update, the government has asked parents to keep their children at home, wherever possible, and asked schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend.

They reminded us that schools, colleges and other educational establishments remain safe places for children. But the fewer children making the journey to school, and the fewer children in educational settings, the lower the risk that the virus can spread and infect vulnerable individuals in wider society.

They have said parents whose work is critical to the COVID-19 response include those who work in health and social care and in other key sectors outlined at the bottom of this email. They continued and said many parents working in these sectors may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. And every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

As a result we do ask you to follow these key principles set out by the government:

1. If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be.
2. If a child needs specialist support, is vulnerable or has a parent who is a critical worker, then educational provision will be available for them.
3. Parents should not rely for childcare upon those who are advised to be in the stringent social distancing category such as grandparents, friends, or family members with underlying conditions.
4. Parents should also do everything they can to ensure children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus. They should observe the same social distancing principles as adults.

If your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and you cannot keep your child safe at home then your children will be prioritised for education provision.

Please complete the form to confirm that you are a keyworker (now that the government has defined what a keyworker is) and to re-confirm your need for childcare provision. This will help us plan accordingly.

School will not share this information and will process this information in line with all GDPR regulations. Once this information has been processed it will be destroyed by the school.

Thank you for your co-operation.
