Dear Parent/Carer,

A reminder of the COVID mitigations currently still in place in school.

The majority of COVID mitigations are still in place in schools and will be at least until after the September weekend. These may be slightly different from those in society in general, therefore it is important that we all take time now and again to remind ourselves of these.

• Adult social distancing is still in place on school premises including the playground. Adults from different households should remain at least 1m from each other at all times.
• Unless exempt, all adults should wear a face covering on school premises at drop off and pick up times.
• Staggered entry and finishing times are in place to minimise congestion. Adults should drop and go or pick up and go in order to keep the grounds clear for the next group.
• Only one adult per family should attend. If at all possible adults should drop off or meet pupils outwith the playground. If adult pickup is required, adults should stand as far back from the lines as possible.
• At the end of the day adults and pupils should exit the grounds immediately to allow the adults and pupils at after care to access the grounds.

It is hoped that these mitigations will be reviewed in the coming weeks and any changes will be communicated as soon as possible. In the meantime it is vitally important that we all continue to follow the guidance to keep everyone in our community as safe as possible.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs McNaught
