CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 17/03/20

CORONAVIRUS - information regarding the spread of coronavirus, and its impact on our school.
This page will be updated as regularly as possible with information regarding the spread of the virus, and its impact on our school.
SCHOOL REMAINS OPEN AS USUAL
As advised by the government, school will continue to operate so long as we have enough staff to do so safely. Children should attend unless they present the main symptoms.
Parents are advised to read the government's guidance on staying at home in the case of suspected coronavirus infection. This is based on the most significant symptoms of:
• new continuous cough and/or
• high temperature (37.8°C)
If children or anyone in your household develop any of these symptoms, they should be kept at home for a period of 14 days from the onset of the symptoms. See stay at home guidance below:

Please see the link below for guidance on social distancing:

Otherwise, activities will continue as normal until such time as Government advice changes.
Teachers have prepared work packs for each child and you are encouraged to make use of available resources such as Purple Mash; we have included their login information in the pack.
To help us to manage this, please contact us by email, admin@byley.cheshire.sch.uk, rather than telephone.
In school, we will continue to encourage regular handwashing, and the use of tissues to “Catch It, Bin It, Kill It".
Any further available information will be provided on this page as and when it is available.
