Critical Care Workers

Dear Parents and Carers

Whilst we are offering your child/ren a place at our key worker provision we thought it would be useful to set out the guidelines that we have put in place for you, your children and our school staff. These are to minimise the spread of Covid-19 and to keep everyone in the provision as safe and healthy as possible.

Parents/Carers

We ask you to please:

1. Use the Key Stage 1 side door to drop your children off (from the staff car park). Please ring the buzzer and then step back from the door. Use the hand sanitiser provided.
2. Drop your own children off and please avoid using friends or family to do this.
3. Socially distance yourself from our staff who will open the door.
4. Give us time to answer the door as everyone might be outside.
5. Please don’t make unnecessary stops on the way to school – ie going to a shop. Just leave home and come straight here.
6. Ensure your child is provided with their own water bottle, lunch and snacks.
7. Please let school know asap if your child won’t be attending the sessions that they have booked in for.
8. Use office@haddenham-st-marys.bucks.sch.uk or the school mobile phone – 07795 261476 for all communication.
9. Take your child’s temperature before sending them into school.
10. Send your child with their inhaler or any medication that they have on a daily basis. Let us know about this when you drop them off.
11. Please let us know the days and approximate times of childcare you require each week by email as soon as you know them.

Children​

We ask them to:

1. Wash their hands as soon as they enter school and before they leave school.
2. Thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water when asked to (at regular times and especially before eating and drinking).
3. Place all their belongings in the large boxes at the front of the classroom.
4. Tell an adult if they are feeling unwell straight way.
5. Sit or play at a distance from other children (staff will ask children to not hug or make close contact with each other). We also appreciate that these children are young so we will do this in an understanding way.

Staff

We will:

1. Not take children who have not been booked in.
2. Open doors to parents with gloves on and social distance ourselves.
3. Socially distance ourselves from other members of staff who are working.
4. Disinfect any equipment that children will be using, before and after.
5. Wear gloves to handle equipment.
6. Keep children as far apart as we practically can.
7. Avoid touching children or their belongings where possible. We will wear gloves when we do.
8. Get the children outside to as much as possible.
9. Wash our hands and use hand sanitiser regularly.
10. Wear long hair tied up.
11. Change and wash clothes as soon as we get in the house and shower and wash hair thoroughly every time we are in school before making contact with our own families.

Thank you for your continued support during this difficult time.

Best wishes and stay safe
