We are aware of positive cases being reported in and around the Grantham area. We have been contacted out of courtesy. Our school has not been affected by this. We continue to take the mitigation of risks seriously. Although we are back at school, we are still in the midst of a pandemic. We continue to follow our risk assessment and operating procedures fully; I continue to monitor this throughout the day and ‘tinker’ with procedures. I am also pleased with the way the kiddies are being reintegrated successfully back to school. I would strongly recommend that any parent/carer with a worry or a concern not to post on social media but to contact the school instead. Please be mindful that social media contributions without any foundation causes unnecessary anxiety for everyone at a time when it can be ill afforded. Please be reassured that if during the school day, any of the children begin to show any of the COVID-19 symptoms, they will be safely isolated and we will contact you. Please do keep us updated if you or anyone in your household develop symptoms. On the opposite page, there is a flowchart that will help families make the decision as to whether to send their child/ren to school or not. The tide of positivity has carried us through the week as we have faced up to our ‘new normal’ and are proud to serve our community knowing we are making a difference.
