We are following Department for Education (DfE) guidance in order to maximise the safety of children and staff. Whilst we cannot eliminate all risk, we have put measures in place to manage the risk as effectively as we can. 

Children should not come to school if they have coronavirus symptoms or have tested positive. See or First Aid section of this website for more details.

Firstly and most importantly, anyone with coronavirus symptoms should not attend school. Instead, they should stay at home, take a test and inform school of the outcome by emailing enquiries@clough-risegate.co.uk

We will ask parents to collect their child from school if he/she has any of the coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms (high temperature, new continuous cough, a loss or change to sense of smell or taste). If a child tests positive for coronavirus, he/she should stay at home and parents should follow advice from the NHS.

We all clean our hands thoroughly and often.
All children and staff wash their hands thoroughly and often (including on arrival at school, when coming in from outside, before and after eating, before home time and after coughing or sneezing). Hand sanitiser is readily available around school. 

We encourage good hygiene at all times.
We encourage good respiratory hygiene by promoting the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach across all year groups. We have tissues in every classroom as well as lidded bins.

Extra cleaning takes place in school.
We carry out cleaning in school throughout the day and enhanced cleaning takes place every day after school.

Classrooms are well ventilated and outdoor learning takes place often.
All of our classrooms have windows and external doors and we use CO2 monitors to track how well ventilated they are. Additionally, we regularly take learning outdoors. This includes PE lessons which take place outdoors or in the school hall with windows and doors open.

We use TEAMs to provide remote education.
Each class has its own TEAMs page which we use to enhance the children’s learning both at school and at home if and when needed. If children need to self-isolate or learn from home, we will seamlessly switch to TEAMs and provide access to high quality remote education. See our Remote Education section for support. Your child's classteacher will support with this.
