NCC Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update from Mr Coyle

School open as normal

A message from Mr Coyle

Dear Parents / Guardians

I write once again to remind you that school is open . We are following the advice of the U.K. government  and for now it is business as usual . We are however making plans to ensure that pupils can work via computer  or through other means.

I will let you know if this situation changes.

Best wishes to you all at this difficult time.

Regards

Mr. Coyle.

Coronavirus Information

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus called coronavirus. 

There are general principles anyone can follow to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:

  • washing your hands often - with soap and water, or use alcohol sanitiser if handwashing facilities are not available. This is particularly important after taking public transport
  • covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throwing the tissue in a bin. Catch it, bin it, kill it.
  • people who feel unwell should stay at home and should not attend work or any education or childcare setting
  • pupils, students, staff and visitors should wash their hands:
    • before leaving home
    • on arrival at school
    • after using the toilet
    • after breaks and sporting activities
    • before food preparation
    • before eating any food, including snacks
    • before leaving school
  • use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available
  • avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
  • avoid close contact with people who are unwell
