Coronavirus Update - 9th Sep 2020
Due to the high number of people testing positive for Coronavirus and the increased focus on Greater Manchester as an area of concern we are now asking that children are dropped off and picked up from school by only one parent. If we can keep the number of people visiting the school site to a minimum then it will help us reduce any possible chains of transmission.
