Coronavirus advice and information

Transform Trust CEO - Covid 19 update to Parents/Carers

Since the late summer resumption in September, school has been prepared for managing Covid-19 cases as they become more commonplace in our local community. In line with Government and Public Health guidance, we will be asking staff and pupil bubbles to isolate whenever symptoms or cases appear.  This is designed to minimise the impact on the wider school community.  We continue to communicate to all affected parents/carers directly through Dojo and this will ensure children are isolated for the necessary time.

We wish to ensure education continues even when pupil isolations are necessary.  School has made provision for delivering this to all children at home.  I want to share how proud I am of the school staff who are working tirelessly and courageously to support your children.

Finally, let me thank you, our parents/carers, for your continued support to the school during these particularly challenging times.  

Stay safe

Rebecca Meredith

CEO
