A SHARED VISION

Coronavirus information

Emergency cover

The single most important action we can all take, in fighting coronavirus, is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives. In response to the Prime Minister’s address to the Nation, we must ask that parents and carers continue to only access the emergency child care cover at the school if you absolutely have to and if there is no one else in your household, who is not a key worker, who can safely look after your child.

It is essential that we minimise the number of people accessing this emergency cover so that we can adhere to strict social distancing requirements, for the health and safety and wellbeing of the children and our staff.

 

Please read a letter to parents/carers, dated 20 March 2020, from our Chief Executive Officer, Mr Brian Crosby.

 

What do I do if I need to access the emergency cover?

Please visit your child’s school website for details about how to access the emergency cover. Please inform the school if your requirements change and you no longer need cover for the days you have booked.

Our school websites can be found here:
