Bealings School Policy with regard to the Covid-19 virus.

We will follow PHE and DFE advice.
We will keep parents and carers informed of all relevant information when we receive it and are confident of its reliability.
We ask parents and carers to share with the school any information about self isolation, symptoms or confirmed infection within their family.
We expect parents and carers to follow Government advice and not to send any child to school if they have any symptoms of the virus “however mild”. Symptoms are: a new persistent cough, fever or shortness of breath.
Our staff will also self isolate in the event they display any of these symptoms.
If the staff think that any child shows any of these symptoms while at school we will ask parents/carers to remove them immediately.
We are not permitted to close the school unless we are advised to do so by PHE.
At the moment there are few precedents of schools closing so it impossible to say exactly what circumstances would trigger a school closure. We imagine that confirmation of an infection, wholesale staff shortages or lack of basic supplies would cause an assessment on closure to be made.
