Coronavirus Update - 21st Oct 2020
Manchester currently has a Coronavirus alert level of "Very High". Full details about local COVID alert levels, including what they mean, why they are being introduced, and what the different levels are can be found here.
With levels of Coronavirus infections being so high in our locality it would really help us for parents to leave the school site as soon as possible once they have collected their children. If you are able to wear a mask, please do so.
If anyone in your family has any symptoms of Coronavirus at all please make sure that all family members stay at home. If anyone in the household has symptoms or has taken a test for Coronavirus then children from that house should be kept at home and not sent into school.
