Covid-Secure Health and Safety Measures
As a result of the pandemic, our open mornings will look very different to any that we have run in previous years.
We understand the importance to parents of having the opportunity to come for a “live” rather than virtual visit during this period of school selection and we are delighted to be able to facilitate this in a controlled environment.
In order to reduce the risk of infection and transmission we will be taking various precautions to make these events Covid- secure. These are detailed as follows:
- Attendance will be limited to two adults per household.
- With the exception of young babies, children will not be able to attend.
- You will be required to wear a face covering (unless medically exempt).
- You will be asked to sanitise hands on entry.
- You will be required to leave contact details for Track and Trace purposes (we can use details provided when booking)
- There will be a limit to the number of attendees to support social distancing.
- Social distancing seating arrangements will be in place in the school hall.
The format of the morning will be reduced in comparison to previous years. It will include:
- A school introduction and welcome from Headteacher, including opportunity for questions (approx. 20 -30 mins).
- A video tour of the school and video introduction to a selection of children from the school (approx. 10 minutes).
- A tour of the school grounds including early years playground and opportunity to speak to staff and governors.
Many thanks for your support – we look forward to welcoming you to The Lea.
“The Lea is a truly wonderful place, where all staff value, nurture and celebrate the talents and interests of all its pupils. It has a wonderful feeling of community and togetherness. It’s the little things they do so well that make it such a fantastic place and why children love learning so much”. Parent View, Ofsted 2018
“As headteacher at The Lea, I am incredibly excited about what the future holds for your children and welcome you to the school to find out more.” James Berry, Headteacher
