LATEST ADVICE FROM DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE DfE
TUESDAY 17th MARCH
>
Holly House is open as usual this week. The situation is changing on a daily basis and we will let parents/carers know as soon as we know if school has to close. We are currently taking every precaution to maintain a safe environment at school. Hand sanitiser is available through out the school and pupils are being encouraged to wash their hands at every opportunity, but especially after using the toilet and before eating. Surfaces such as tables, desks and door handles are being regularly wiped with anti-bacterial agents. Staff and pupil health is also being monitored daily. All non-essential visitors to school have been told to stay away. No new appointments are being made. All offsite trips and visits have been postponed until further notice apart from prearranged extended day activities and Outdoor Education.
>
The current advice is –
- Maintain good personal hygiene
- If you have a high temperature/fever and persistent cough or shortness of breath – stay at home. Self-isolate for at least 14 days.
- If anyone in your family has these symptoms, self-isolate for 14 days.
- Inform school
>
If there are any changes to this advice, parents/carers will be informed by text.
