Please find below an update from the Department for Education dated 2nd March 2020.

Telephone: 0800 046 8687

No school should close in response to a suspected (or confirmed) COVID-19 case unless directed to do so by Public Health England.

Personal hygiene is the most important way we can tackle COVID-19. Please help us in sharing simple and effective hand hygiene messages.
