Dear Parents/ Carers

Thank you for your support and patience during the last week of disruption and school closure.

We are looking forward to all the students returning on Monday 4th October.

Please note the following information.

Students with colds and other respiratory infectionsMany thanks to Parents/Carers who have followed earlier advice this term to keep their young person at home, until the symptoms clear if they have a cold or other respiratory infection. This is because the initial symptoms of Covid-19 can mirror colds etc and this helps to reduce potential transmission amongst the rest of the school. If a student does come into school with a respiratory infection the nursing team will immediately contact you so that arrangements can be made to get the young person home.
Second Covid vaccinations for students aged 16 plusIf your young person had their first Covid-19 vaccination on 16.07.21 at Greenford Hall supported by school staff, we are expecting to be allocated a date in the week beginning 11.10.21 for the second vaccination. We will inform you as soon as we receive this information from NHS North West. In the meantime if you are concerned you may want to book an earlier appointment and take your young person yourself to a public session at a vaccination centre
First Covid vaccinations for students aged 12 plusYounger students aged 12 plus will also be able to have their first Covid-19 vaccination at a private St Ann’s session during the week beginning 11.10.21 Parents/Carers will need to give signed permission. Further information and precise details will be forwarded as soon as we receive them.
Open Evening Thursday 7th OctoberFollowing the recent cluster of Covid cases we are re-introducing more stringent Covid secure measures across school and as a part of this we are not having visitors on site for the next two weeks. Open Evening scheduled for thisThursday 07.10.21 will therefore take place via Zoom or a telephone conversation and the class teacher will be in touch with you shortly to arrange this.  

Please contact the school office if you have any queries. Although I have to stay at home and self isolate until Wednesday evening I will remain in close contact with Timmy Holdsworth, Deputy Headteacher and the office team and I will of course be happy to clarify any of the above with you. 

Yours sincerely

Gillian Carver
