Dear parent/carer/guardian
We are writing to advise you of some measures we have taken today with regard to the Corona-virus outbreak. I politely ask that you read all the information contained in this letter as it is of vital importance.
From today all school clubs that are run after school are cancelled until further notice. If your child has an after school club today then you will have already been contacted by our office staff.
Our after school club provision which runs on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is also cancelled until further notice. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this causes but these are unprecedented times.
All trips are also to be postponed until further notice. Please be assured that all monies collected so far will be kept safe so that the trips can be rearranged in the near future. Information on the future of the Llanmadoc residential will follow once we make a decision on the viability of the trip in coming months.
Breakfast club will be running as normal for now, however, we ask that you only bring your child to breakfast club if it is essential for them to attend.
Can we also ask that you follow Government and NHS guidelines to self-isolate if you fall within the categories listed or are displaying symptoms. Please also be advised that should any pupil attend school who is displaying any symptoms associated with the virus, we will need to follow guidelines ourselves and you will be politely asked to collect your child and any siblings. If you have chosen to keep your child away from school please be also reassured that we support this decision and absence will be authorised as long as you advise us of your decision. Please look at the latest update on the NHS website for further details of self-isolation periods, symptoms and vulnerable groups. This is updated by them daily and is accessed by typing in the following link.

We have today been preparing 'Home Learning' activities for our learners. If you require a Home learning activity pack/information sheet, please contact your child's teacher/s via Dojo or contact the office. We ask that if you use Dojo, you contact using this method, as our office is currently very busy. If you do not use Dojo then please feel free to telephone the office on 01792 522202.
I wish to advise you that we have still NOT received notification of school closure. School is OPEN until we receive a notification from the Local Authority which states otherwise.
As soon as we receive this advice we will pass the information on to you immediately via all our usual communication methods.
Many thanks for your patience at what is a difficult time for us all,
Kindest regards,
Fiona Gibbard
