Update- * Please note that due to Covid 19 our school will be closed for the foreseeable future. Please have a look at our Home Learning page for more information.*
As you are aware, the government’s guidance on the coronavirus has changed from the ‘contain’ phase to one of delaying the spread of the virus, including instructions that if a family member is self-isolating because of a new continuous cough or high temperature, in line with the NHS ‘Stay at Home’ guidance (www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-advice/) they should self-isolate together for 14 days. As a result of this and due to high levels of staff absence, we are unable to safely open and operate the school. Therefore, after consulting with the Local Authority, I have today reluctantly taken the decision that as from 3.15pm today, 18th March 2020, Icknield Primary School will be closed and will cease usual operations until further notice.
Kind regards,
Ishbel Coleman
