People at risk Employees, pupils, visitors, contractors, parents/carers

Government guidance states for schools states:

“The safety of children and staff is our utmost priority.”

“The advice seeks to support staff working in schools, colleges and childcare settings, to deliver this approach in the safest way possible, focussing on measures they can put in place to help limit the risk of the virus spreading within education and childcare settings.”

“In education, childcare and social care settings, preventing the spread of the coronavirus involves dealing with direct transmissions (for instance, when in close contact with those sneezing and coughing) and indirect transmission (via touching contaminated surfaces.) A range of approaches and actions should be employed to do this.”

Government guidance for parents concerning re-opening of schools states:

“We have provided guidance and support to schools, colleges and child care settings on implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings to help them reduce the risk of transmission as more children and young people return.”

“Whilst such changes are likely to look different in each setting, as they will depend upon individual circumstances, they are all designed to minimise risks to children, staff and their families.

Schools and colleges continue to be best placed to make decisions about how to support and educate their pupils during this period. This will include:

Consideration of the pupils’ mental health and well being

ABILITY TO SOCIAL DISTANCE

Social distancing at key points e.g. drop off and pick up times.

Staggered entry/exit – pupil entering and exiting the building in stages of 30 minutes

Parents informed of this staggering time – advising for one parent to drop off (if a child is a lone walker this is encouraged)

Entry points for each group will be spread throughout the school in addition to the staggering

Two metre marking outside the classrooms in use to help support parents when they are social distancing

Signage clarifying that the office lobby can only contain one person at a time e.g. parents wishing to collect items

Cones will mark a queuing system 2 meters apart for anyone needing support from the office

Max of two members of office staff in the office at any one time – children not to enter office

LW to devise timetable

LW to inform parents and outline expectations to reduce risk

Class teachers to introduce the charter on day 1 (refer to principles at bottom of sheet)

Class teachers to make sure they have appropriate equipment

JM to organise two outside PE sessions (non-contact per week with each group)

Social Distancing measures when moving around school/break/lunch/use of toilet

1. Staggered break times/lunch times 2. Classrooms chosen to allow pupils to have specific access to toilets where they do not mix with other groups

(Germany to use Unisex toilet) Peru to use girls and boys toilets – all other toilets are either in their own classrooms or in the hallway

3. Reduced lunch time to reduce time outside/reduce overlap of children (see attached lunch time schedule below) 4. Lunch time space allocations will have groups either on playground or on field. 5. When children eat lunch they will be seated in the dining room – one pupil per table but still in groups for

conversation. They will enter the dining room through the usual exit from the playground and past the hall) and exit to their outside space (as directed) via Mr Mendes room (Scotland) Markings are on the ground to allow children to minimise passing each other – see photo below.

6. There will be 12 tables in the dining area and then two more in the quiet area. The last two children seated MUST go in the quiet area (not designated by need or preference)

6. Staff to agree their eating arrangements to avoid overcrowding.

7. GF/LW/MB to mark flooring and rearrange dining room.

REDUCTION OF MIXING BETWEEN GROUPS OF STAFF/PUPILS

Minimise the need of different groups to mix with wide ranges of different people.

1. Same teacher and TA will remain with children throughout the day – no additional MSAs will support at lunch – this will be managed by staff who are already in school (See rota)

2. Additional adults who are required to supervise at lunch will apply social distancing when outside. 3. Toilets will be designated for use by each separate group to avoid sharing of facilities they will have access to toilets

either in their classroom/the toilets by the hall or the unisex toilets in the new build. They will have open access to these during break and lunch.

4. Should a child become anxious and is displaying dangerous behaviour a member of staff may be called in to support the child by using the de-escalation script as usual – supporting verbally from a distance and encouraging them verbally. The child will be encouraged to find a safe space and be directed to the Cub where an adult can support them while de-escalating.

5. If a child has three episodes where they have been unsafe and require a high level of support the child will be asked to learn at home until such time as we can facilitate staff to make this safe.

6. A one way system has been put in place in the dining area and communal corridors to avoid groups passing in narrow corridors – in through playground doors – follow to dining room or class – exit through Mr Mendes room. All pupils and staff will adhere to this.

1. TAs on lunch duty (take 30 minute break when children return to class)

2. LW to select classrooms based on access to toilets per group and avoid mixing.

3. LW to put up signage for one way systems

7. Children not to be sent to office or to return things to classrooms to avoid mixing with additional adults e.g. office staff.

8. Lunch time sessions will see that each group is using their designated equipment only and are in the designated area to ensure they do not mix with another group.

9. Toilets are allocated to each group so they are not mixing in the toilet. Only one child from each group should be going to the toilet at any one time to avoid movement around the building (where toilets are not based in the classroom). 4 Zambia will use the MALE toilet in the hall corridor and 4 Costa Rica will use the FEMALE toilets in the hall corridor. Peru use the single sex toilets and Germany are using the Unisex toilets – a one way system is in place to avoid groups crossing.

Contacts with parents about concerns

1. Parents will not have access inside the school building unless deemed urgent (visitor protocol will be followed for this)

2. Contact with parents is to take place over the phone or via the class email 3. Contact with the office will be through the glass pane 4. Any parents requiring collected items e.g. home learning packs etc. will be placed on the table in the foyer for

collection

1. LW to state this in letter to all parents

2. LW to make signage which will denote this.

3. Table to be placed in lobby to allow items to be left for pick up if needed.

Visitors to the school 1. Parents will not be allowed into the school site – staggered entry and exit will reduce adults on site 2. Only one adult to bring child to school. 3. Visitors will be discouraged on site unless there is a reason why they must attend (relating to premises safety or annual

checks which are an essential requirement) – this will be encouraged on a Friday when there are minimal people on site.

4. Visitors who do attend school will be asked to wear appropriate PPE, apply strict social distancing and to adhere to the visitors policy which will be available when signing in. While the site manager is not available HT will undertake these duties in addition to her own. Any contractors will be arranged where possible when children and staff are off site. Should they be on site relevant staff will be made aware of the places where they are carrying out works via the main message board in the staff room.

1. LW communicate in letter to parents

2. MB/EE/CA to brief any visitors on protocol as per the guidance on the poster.

REDUCTION OF SHARING ITEMS OR KEY TOUCH POINTS TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION/HYGIENE

6 | P a g e

RISK/RANK Specific Actions to mitigate risk Person responsible for supporting mitigation

of risk

Pupils sharing equipment.

Children should wash their hands upon entry to school. Using the sinks in their classroom. They may wait at their desk and wash them one pupil at a time using the 20 second routine which will be further established during lessons. See the following link for resources for KS2 https://e-bug.eu/junior_pack.aspx?cc=eng&ss=2&t=Hand%20Hygiene

Additional signage will be placed to remind pupils of the 20 second handwashing throughout the day – this will be revisited for younger pupils in the form of a discreet lesson.

Individual equipment will be provided – shared resources will not be applicable to the lessons planned – resources will be available on desks for each session – limit children accessing resources in crowded spaces (See photo of desk arrangement below)

Games cupboard will be locked and unlocked by the person who is knocking or unlock the whole building every day to avoid use of key among multiple users

Each group to have specific “playground equipment” which will be kept in class and cleaned after each use (after lunch) equipment chosen to reduce sharing of equipment e.g. skipping ropes, bats, plastic balls (rather than foam) These will be cleaned by the TA after lunch by filling the equipment box – adding disinfectant and leaving until end of school day – this will be emptied and ready for use the following day. 160ml pine disinfectant per 5 litres of water.

School will provide children with necessary equipment which will be kept on their desk each day – they will have a designated desk.

Parents will be asked to supply their child with a pack of tissues which can be kept on their desk when needed. Pupils will apply the catch it, kill it and bin it approach if needing to use a tissue.

Children with packed lunch/water bottle will keep on own desk rather than placing on a lunch trolley

Children will place their tray on their chair at the end of the day to make the tables easy for cleaning (and protect cleaning staff from touching items which have been touched by multiple children)

Desks will be wiped down by the cleaning staff at the end of the day using appropriate cleaning equipment

Chromebooks should be wiped with cleaning wipes if being used (which can be found in the class kit) BEFORE AND AFTER USE.

Cleaning staff will adhere to the additional cleaning protocols set out in the document https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings these will be followed at the end of the day

Additional cleaning throughout the day will be made clear and passed to all relevant staff to adhere to the additional cleaning routines.

Class Teachers/TAs to embed this routine with children and follow up on proper handwashing

LW to produce and allocate signage as appropriate

MB to course appropriate playground equipment and sort into 5 boxes and ensure these are cleaned before use.

Class TA will be responsible for cleaning equipment as per the guidelines to minimise risk to themselves.

PE to order stock to make sure new pens and pencils are available for every pupil.

Staff to oversee children putting their items where

they are needed and establishing that as their routine (while avoiding trip hazards)

LW to source classroom cleaning stations to enable wiping and cleaning as deemed necessary

Staff sharing touching surfaces

Staff will not mark work or handle materials touched by the pupils. Work needing reviewing will be done during the lesson or by reviewing books left open during break and lunch time allowing teachers to give verbal feedback for the pupils to act upon as needed

Identify a list of key touch points which are touched multiple times e.g. photo copier, door handles, taps etc. put relevant signage in places to alert people to procedure (wipe down after use)

Identify where key touch points are touched by staff where hand washing must follow e.g. entry keypad, toilet handle

Have cleaning materials available for staff to clean as required and make sure they are well stocked and accessible

Staff will be asked to wash hands upon entry to school (following touching the school entry system) and regularly throughout the day

Staff will use the I-pad signing in system which they will wipe with an cleaning wipe after use ready for the next person

Photocopy keypads will be wiped with cleaning wipes after each use

Cleaning team will have an identified list of key touch points which will be cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day.

School will not have access for children every Friday, other than those who are key workers of vulnerable – this will give an opportunity to have a 72 hour window in which the virus is no longer live on surfaces.

No food sharing e.g. no shared cakes, biscuits in staff room

LW to create signage to remind staff where they might need to clean key touch points/wash their hands

Appropriate cleaning materials will be accessible near the places where additional cleaning is required

MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING TO REDUCE RISK OF SPREADING THE VIRUS

Classrooms adapted to allow for appropriate conditions

Rooms well ventilated with internal and external (weather permitting) doors open

Classrooms de-cluttered to avoid pupils touching and handling items

Soft furnishing removed from classrooms (which can’t be easily wiped)

Tables arranged to allow for easy movement

Dining room adapted (see below)

Class teachers to ensure their room is ready for 1st June (see pictures below)

TRANSFER OF ANY CONTAMINATION FROM HOME TO SCHOOL

Clothing adaptations

Pupils will be asked to wear suitable/comfy clothing which can be easily eased and will allow for physical activity within school – parents will be asked to ensure change and wash when they return home and change into fresh clothes to mitigate the risk of transferring the Virus into the family home.

Staff will do the same – it will be understood that clothes may be more casual than normal to allow for the constant washing of clothes each day e.g. a suit is not easily washed

LW to include this information in parent letter Staff to report children in visibly dirty clothes so parents can be contacted and reminded of this

Bringing Items from home to school/vice versa

Children should not be bringing anything other than a coat, packed lunch and water bottle to school – everything else will be available in school

Children should not bring in face coverings as they are not able to handle them responsibly which may inadvertently increase the risk of transmission (staff will not be wearing face masks as a matter of daily practise although there may be occasions where they do so if dealing with an injured or ill child).

All items the children bring in will be kept in their own workspace or under their desk

Children will not bring home workbooks or homework home

We would ask pupils to only bring a mobile phone if they are a lone walker and it is essential. The phones will remain turned off in their own bag and will be brought in at their own risk – the school will not accept any responsibility for loss or breakage)

If the children create any art work or something to bring home these will be left in the classroom for 36 hours as the virus does not live on paper or card for longer than this. They will brought home after this point.

LW to include this information in parent letter Staff to report children/parents who are not adhering to these procedures so contact with parents can be made

If a child is awaiting collection, they should be moved, if possible, to a room where they can be isolated behind a closed door, depending on the age of the child and with appropriate adult supervision if required. Ideally, a window should be opened for ventilation. If it is not possible to isolate them, move them to an area which is at least 2 metres away from other people.

If they need to go to the bathroom while waiting to be collected, they should use a separate bathroom if possible. The bathroom should be cleaned and disinfected using standard cleaning products before being used by anyone else.

PPE should be worn by staff caring for the child while they await collection if a distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained (such as for a very young child or a child with complex needs).

In an emergency, call 999 if they are seriously ill or injured or their life is at risk. Do not visit the GP, pharmacy,

If a member of staff has helped someone with symptoms, they do not need to go home unless they develop symptoms themselves (and in which case, a test is available) or the child subsequently tests positive (see ‘What happens if there is a confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19) in a setting?’ below). They should wash their hands thoroughly for 20 seconds after any contact with someone who is unwell. Cleaning the affected area with normal household disinfectant after someone with symptoms has left will reduce the risk of passing the infection on to other people. See the COVID-19: cleaning of non-healthcare settings guidance.

Staff displaying symptoms in school.

Staff will be asked to follow usual procedure for calling in sick if they are displaying any relevant symptoms and not come into work for 7 days from the start of the first symptom.

Staff will identify if they are displaying symptoms and remove themselves to The Den if concerned telling a member of staff as they do so.

The member of staff will go home and self-isolate for 7 days – this will be recorded in a book kept in the office labelled “staff self-isolation”.

Staff who have displayed symptoms should get tested to see if they are positive by following the guidance set out here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested and a member of SLT informed of the result to follow procedure stated below should they be positive.

MB/CA keep records up to date in book

Pupils or staff being in contact with someone who has self-isolated due to displaying symptoms related to COVD-19

Parents will be notified by text that a pupil/member of staff has been sent home after displaying relevant symptoms.

Parents will have the right to self-isolate their child following this information – there will be no penalty for making this decision.

Parents will notify the school and the return date will be recorded in the appropriate book in the office.

When a child, young person or staff member develops symptoms compatible with coronavirus (COVID-19), they should be

sent home and advised to self-isolate for 7 days and arrange to have a test to see if they have COVID-19.

They can do this by visiting NHS.UK to arrange or contact NHS 119 via telephone if they do not have internet access. Their

fellow household members should self-isolate for 14 days. All staff and students who are attending an education or

childcare setting will have access to a test if they display symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), and are encouraged to get

Where the child, young person or staff member tests negative, they can return to their setting and the fellow household

members can end their self-isolation.

Where the child, young person or staff member tests positive, the rest of their class or group within their childcare or

education setting should be sent home and advised to self-isolate for 14 days. The other household members of that wider

class or group do not need to self-isolate unless the child, young person or staff member they live with in that group

subsequently develops symptoms.

As part of the national test and trace programme, if other cases are detected within the cohort or in the wider setting,

Public Health England’s local health protection teams will conduct a rapid investigation and will advise schools and other

settings on the most appropriate action to take. In some cases a larger number of other children, young people may be

asked to self-isolate at home as a precautionary measure – perhaps the whole class, site or year group. Where settings are

observing guidance on infection prevention and control, which will reduce risk of transmission, closure of the whole setting

will not generally be necessary.

Parents/Staff who have been in contact with someone (who is in their “bubble group” who has tested positive will be notified by text and their family MUST to self-isolate for 14 days following the notification.

This will be logged in the Pupil or Staff self-isolation book kept in the office.

There is no need of the whole family to self-isolate, just the child within that group

All staff and pupils who have attended on a day where someone has been on premises and tested positive will be informed and asked to decide if they wish to self-isolate – and will not be penalised for doing so

Anaphylaxis (Tier 3)

Normal procedure will be followed with the following additions:

Gloves and masks will be included within the Epi-Pen boxes.

At the point of suspected anaphylactic shock, the First Aider should be radioed with details to attend and an adult should be sent to collect the Epi-Pen from the office, the office should be told to phone for an ambulance.

The First Aider will administer the epi-pen and stay with the child until the ambulance arrives. Parents should be phoned as early as is convenient.

AK will ensure face-masks and gloves are placed with the epi-pen boxes.

LW to place laminated copy of current procedure for each tier in first aid kits for reference.

Mouth and Eye Injuries (Tier 2)

Assess the extent of the injury without any physical contact.

If you need to assess the injury and are unable to do from a safe distance PPE should be worn.

If a minor mouth or eye injury Tier 1 may be used where the child washes their mouth out with water or applied a cold compress to the eye.

If a more serious injury occurs (for example teeth), the adult should inform parents and call a First Aider if needed.

Contact treatment for mouth and eye injuries will not be applied due to risks of cross contamination. Parents will be phoned.

All staff to be aware of protocol

LW to place laminated copy of current procedure for each tier in first aid kits for reference.

PE (Tier to be assessed)

The TA out with the group should assess which Tier is required for treatment using the action plan.

Treatment should be followed using the action plan.

ATTENDANCE MONITORING

Changes of staff/children attending on different days need to be accounted for if not attending school.

Parents must adhere to the normal procedures for attendance if their child is unable to come to school.

Any child expected in school will have the normal attendance procedures followed as stated in the current policy.

Parents who have children attending school and may be working on shifts due to key worker status must contact the school in advance of the coming week to let school know the days their child needs to attend

An office member accesses admin emails regularly to update SLT of any changes to attendance.

Behaviour Principles for Pupils Behaviour Principles for Staff

following any altered routines for arrival or departure

following school instructions on hygiene, such as handwashing and sanitising

following instructions on who pupils can socialise with at school

moving around the school as per specific instructions (for example, one-way systems, out of bounds areas, queuing)

expectations about sneezing, coughing, tissues and disposal (‘catch it, bin it, kill it’) and avoiding touching your mouth, nose and eyes with hands

tell an adult if you are experiencing symptoms of coronavirus

rules about sharing any equipment or other items including drinking

Do not come to work if you have coronavirus symptoms, or go home as soon as these develop (informing your manager), and access a test as soon as possible.

Clean your hands more often than usual - with running water and soap and dry them thoroughly or use alcohol hand rub or sanitiser ensuring that all parts of the hands are covered.

Use the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach.

Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes.

Clean frequently touched surfaces often using standard products, such as detergents and bleach.

21 | P a g e

bottles

amended expectations about breaks or play times, including where children may or may not play

use of toilets

clear rules about coughing or spitting at or towards any other person

clear rules for pupils at home about conduct in relation to remote education

rewards and sanction system where appropriate

Identify any reasonable adjustments that need to be made for students with more challenging behaviour.

Parents – to be aware if a pupil is persistently not able to follow these additional principles they will not be permitted to be asked to continue with remote learning for the benefit of the pupils and staff in school.

Think about ways to modify your teaching approach to keep a distance from children in your class as much as possible, particularly close face to face support (noting that it’s understood that this is not possible at all times, which is why hygiene and hand cleaning is so important).

Consider avoiding calling pupils to the front of the class or going to their desk to check on their work if not necessary.

Help your class to follow the rules on hand cleaning, not touching their faces, ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ etc. including by updating your classrooms displays with posters.

Prevent your class from sharing equipment and resources (like stationery).

Keep your classroom door and windows open if possible for air flow.

Limit the number of children from your class using the toilet at any one time.

Limit your contact with other staff members, and don’t congregate in shared spaces, especially if they are small rooms.
