I have not made this decision lightly, and I think in view of previous correspondence, it will come as no surprise. Despite the Government’s advice that schools should remain open, due to a change in Public Health England advice in relation to self-isolation the best way to minimise spread is social distancing. We are a large school, and social distancing is causing us difficulty at the moment. The number of self-isolation, both staff and children, has increased significantly, since the change in Government advice on Monday and I now deem it is the right time to close the school in line with our business continuity plan. I hope you understand my position. I suspect the Government’s position on school closure will fall into line with our decision very shortly, Of course, let’s see how ‘working from home’ goes for our children. It’s the way lots of jobs are going, so it might give them an unforgettable positive experience. We are well prepared, most of you will have the online resources usernames and password. Staff from school will be posting online, and there is a messaging system in the Purple Mash program should you want to contact the teacher directly. In the previous correspondence there are two further e-mail addresses for contact. info@westoe.s-tyneside.sch.uk – Use this email for general enquiries. help@westoe.s-tyneside.sch.uk – Use this email for technical support (username, passwords etc.) For those without internet access, we will supply a paper based resource pack. It is important that we all play our part to minimise the spread and impact of this virus. Good hygiene, particularly washing your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds, is still one of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of infection to you and other people. How to check if you need medical help: NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service that can tell you if you need medical help and advise you what to do. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Use the online 111 coronavirus helpline: https://111.nhs/covid-19 If you do not have access to the internet you can call 111. You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you are staying at home. For further information please visit: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ This information is constantly being updated so please make sure you check the latest guidance. Finally, please look after each other and let’s see how our ‘remote virtual’ school experience works out. Can I round off by thanking all our parents and families for their outstanding support during this very difficult period – the staff, and I, are truly blessed!
