Dear Parents

We are following the advice of health authorities as well as the Independent Schools Council. The importance of washing hands regularly and disposing of tissues follows the Government campaign ‘Catch it, bin it, kill it’. If your child has any flu-like symptoms, please do not bring them into school.

normal unless it becomes impossible. In the unlikely event of government
instructions to close schools in order to prevent the spread of infection, we

photocopied. Please let the school know if you have no facility for sending or
receiving emails. For those with no email facility we will do our best by post.
Government advice is that if a child or their family have recently returned to

At the moment we are monitoring the situation and will up-date you if any of this advice changes. In the meantime we are trying to keep a balanced view but recommend that you regularly check the website for further information.
Yours sincerely
