Dear parents and guardians

As we move into our second term of face-to-face learning, we have a clearer understanding of the ongoing pandemic situation. As the numbers of Covid-19 positives increased before Christmas, we decided to go to online learning for the last few days to allow families to quarantine before the festivities. As we have to follow Sanidad directives but not necessarily the school calendar from the Consejeria de Educación , we decided to open on 7th January to allow as many teaching days as possible. Both proved to be the correct decisions as now our staff and students are fully immersed in their teaching and learning.

We have returned to the pre-Covid timetable allowing students a little longer for lunch. We have built extra toilets over the Christmas break giving more bathroom facilities for students and staff. We keep the Covid-19 protocols under constant review - but we must avoid complacency, we must all remain on our guard.

Please remember YOU MUST take your child's temperature before they leave home. YOU MUST NOT send them to school if they have any fever normally at 37.7 deg or above and you should consult your GP. Your child MUST come to school unless they have a fever or you have a doctors letter saying they cannot come to school. Either situation, you must inform the school immediately.

We will keep you informed of any changes or updates so please keep checking the website.

Please be reassured that we will continue to strive to keep our school, environment and your child as safe as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr Colin Macrae, Head of Wingate School
