Dos and Don'ts Leaflet
Published 12/02/21Thank you for playing your part and helping to keep our school safe by following current Government guidelines during the national lockdown.
It’s so important that we don’t become complacent during half-term so we can all enjoy the break and hopefully come back to either remote, or face to face learning (for children considered vulnerable or children of critical workers) safely.
Hertfordshire County Council have asked us to share the attached leaflet with you as a reminder of what we all can and cannot do during the lockdown restrictions. Please do take the time to read it and remind your children that for now, we all have to play our part to protect ourselves, our families and our friends.
