Coronavirus Update - 18th November 2020
Manchester is currently under the new National Restrictions that were put in place on the 5th of November. Detailed information about what these restricytions mean 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.
