We have been advised that there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 within our school community.
I would like to take time to reassure you that we have taken all necessary actions since hearing this information to keep all children at our school as safe as possible. The children and staff in the bubble and on the school bus have been contacted and are now self-isolating for 10 days.
How to stop COVID-19 spreading
There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19
- wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
- use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
- wash your hands as soon as you get home
- cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
- put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

Good evening,
Staff have been in touch or left messages for all our school community today. We are going to continue to provide provision for our current identified group, which includes the children of critical workers. We are aware the DFE will be issuing new guidance this evening.
All students have either paper work packs or are accessing an online offer. If you need any support with your child’s learning please contact us.
We will update the website and parent app tomorrow with any further information.

Please see attached letter from Juliette for this evenings news.
We will update the website tomorrow, thank you again for your patience
Following the announcement by the Prime Minister this evening, we have taken the difficult decision to keep Bank View closed tomorrow for all students apart from those whose parents are critical workers. This sadly includes those we made contact with only this afternoon. We will therefore be cancelling school transport.
We await further guidance from the LA and the government about what the offer for vulnerable students will be going forward and we will be in contact with more information tomorrow.
We appreciate the notice we have been able to give on this decision is not ideal for our families, but unfortunately, the timing of this evening’s announcement left us with no choice.

- wash their hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
