Keeping our students, staff and families safe and healthy is our absolute priority. We all share this responsibility and take it very seriously.

This agreement sets out what our school staff, students, parents and carers agree to do to help keep each other safe, during phase one of our school reopening.

Parent

To help my child at school, I know and understand that:

  • If my child, or anyone in my household, shows symptoms of COVID-19, I will not send them to school. We will self-isolate for 14 days as a family. I will get them tested and I will let the school know the result as soon as possible via telephone or email

  • If my child shows symptoms of COVID-19 at school, I will collect my child from school immediately. I will get them tested and I will let the school know as soon as possible of the outcome via telephone

  • On my commute, and when dropping my child off and picking them up, I will adhere to the 2 metre social distancing rules

  • When dropping off and picking up, I will strictly stick to the school timings for my child

  • My child will not bring any items into school with them or take items home from school except a breaktime snack, water bottle and face mask (face masks are optional)

  • If I supply my child with a face mask I understand that staff will not be responsible for ensuring that my child wears this throughout the day

  • I will not be allowed into the school without a pre- arranged appointment – make appointments via telephone or email

  • I need to support all staff in their efforts to create an ‘as safe as possible’ environment during this time

  • I will read all letters / messages / emails that are sent home

  • I will inform the school of any changes to parents/carer and emergency contacts details

  • I will follow social distancing rules at all times whilst on school grounds

  • If my child is deemed unsafe, he/she will be sent home and cannot return to school until they can be safe.

School

Our school will do our best to:

  • Provide an environment which is safe and has been risk assessed in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

  • Adhere to the social distancing rules as set out by the government as much as we reasonably and practically can

  • Adhere to protective measures and hygiene controls to reduce the risk of infection

  • Provide a curriculum that meets the needs of your child’s well-being, mental health and academic needs

  • Contact parents/carers if your child displays symptoms of COVID-19

  • Inform you if staff or children in your child’s ‘bubble’ test positive for COVID-19 as this will mean you will all need to self-isolate for at least 14 days

  • Continue our clear and consistent approach to rewards and sanctions for children as set out in the Behaviour Policy as well the expectations outlined in this agreement

  • Communicate with you through notices, newsletters, text, email and the school website.

STUDENT

I will do my best to:

  • Follow the directions of all staff first time, every time

  • Follow the bubble rules that keep me safe

  • Keep to the 2 metre social distance rule whilst on route to school, in school, and on my journey home

  • Sterilise my hands as soon as I go into school

  • Tell an adult if I feel unwell

  • Not bring things into school from home, or take things home from school

  • Only use the equipment in my pack. Not mix with any other children in the school outside of my bubble

  • Only enter and exit the school building through the designated route

  • Follow the ‘catch it-bin it-kill it’ rules coughing and sneezing into my elbow or a tissue

  • Regularly sterilise my hands or wash them using soap and running water for 20 seconds and dry thoroughly

  • Follow the rules at all times to maintain the safety of myself and others

  • Follow these expectations and know that if I don’t, I will be sent home and will not be able to come back into school until the Headteacher agrees that I can be safe.
