Primary School and Nursery
Temperatures are forecast to be very high on Monday and Tuesday next week. The government expects schools to remain open with all pupils attending school in person. Nursery, main school, childcare (before and after-school), and specialist clubs are all expected to be open as usual.
We have reviewed and considered advice from the government and Ealing Council. We talked to staff at our weekly briefing this morning. Preparations include:
Schools are unique. Each school operates in different circumstances. Some schools may close, or partially close, depending on their individual circumstances, approach and attitudes to risk. We mitigate risks, remain flexible and intend to operate as normal.
If parents choose to keep children at home due to the heat then this is likely to be marked as an unauthorised absence. However, in a small number of cases, if there is an underlying medical condition, we may authorise absence on a case by case basis.
There are no further cases of COVID-19 in class teachers. Those who have had COVID-19 this week have either returned to work or are expecting to return to work next week. This is lifting pressure on covering staff absence and/or splitting classes to work in other classrooms.
In the unlikely event that utilities or the water supply to the school fails, we may be forced to close at short notice. This will be last resort. Depending on the length of any closure, we may switch to remote learning by Microsoft Teams.
