School leaders are working hard to gain full clarification as to what today's announcement in parliament really means for our schools. The information is very vague at the moment. We are looking at advice together with the needs of the whole school community . We have the needs of our pupils, parents and staff in our minds and will always look to the safety of our pupils.  

Please be patient with us early tomorrow and we will update everyone once things become clearer. Schools will be open until at least Friday for those not already off due to being ill or at risk from being near someone with symptoms.
