CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Every Action Counts

Infection rates in the west London area haven’t fallen as low as other parts of the capital.

â–¶ Wash your hands

â–¶ Cover your face

â–¶ Keep a safe distance

â–¶ Get tested

â–¶Take your vaccine when offered

Many of our staff have received training to enable them to deal with these issues and will be happy to speak to the children about these. Please also see attached letter from Mr Kent, our Mental Health Lead.
