Coronavirus Updates and Advice
As you are aware the government has now called for all schools to be closed for the vast majority of children; only opening for children who are vulnerable, and children whose parents are critical to the COVID-19 response and cannot be safely cared for at home. At this time, the best possible scenario is for your child to remain at home.
For those not being provided for in school, we have worked hard to provide a range of activities and learning that your child can access from home. This includes a home-learning pack, learning set on Purple Mash, Times Tables Rockstars, Spelling Shed, Accelerated Reader and much more.
Our staff will stay in contact through our Twitter pages and keep you all up to date with learning your child can access. We will also keep you updated on any official news or new government guidelines on our official website
https://www.whistonwillis.co.uk/ and through Twitter @whistonwillis1.
We must continue to follow the government recommendations:
Stay at home
- Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)
- If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times
- Wash your hands as soon as you get home
Do not meet others, even friends or family.
You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.
