Update re Covid-19 

We at Holy Cross have the health and well-being of our pupils and staff at the core of all we do. The current situation in relation to Covid-19 is worrying and uncertain. 

We are not in a position to close our school until we have been advised to do so, however we do recognise that with the growing number of cases of the virus, parents are concerned about their children and the risk they pose to vulnerable family members, should they remain in school. 

Please be reassured that we are putting measures in place within school to limit the spread of infection and are following the PHA guidance. Having said that, we fully understand that for some the risk is too great and that you may wish to keep your child off school. 

We ask that parents follow the guidance- if your child is displaying any symptoms such as a dry cough or temperature they should remain at home. 

As a staff we will be preparing for a closure, that will surely come, as we want to ensure that pupils will have access to resources to aid their learning from home. 

As this is an incredibly fluid situation it is advised that you monitor the website/Fb page and messages. 

Stay safe and follow the advice.
