COVID 19

Home School Agreement

 

Please find attached below a copy of the COVID Home School Agreement document.  We will be sending this home when we are back in September for parents and pupils to sign.

 

School:

Meadow High School

The school will do its best to:

 

• Provide an environment which has been risk assessed in response to the COVID-19 infection;
• Adhere to the social distancing rules as set out by the government as much as we reasonably can;
• Provide a curriculum that meets the needs of your child’s well-being, mental health and academic needs;
• Contact parents/carers if your child displays symptoms of COVID-19;
• Inform you if staff or children in your child’s ‘bubble’ show symptoms of COVID-19 as this will mean you will all need to self-isolate for at least 14 days or until the test comes back negative;
• Continue our clear and consistent approach to rewards and sanctions for children as set out in the Behaviour Policy as well the expectations outlined in this agreement;
• Communicate between home and school through newsletters, email and the school website.

 

Parent:

To help my child at school, I know and understand that:

• If my child, or anyone in my household, shows symptoms of COVID-19, I will not send them to school, we will self-isolate for 14 days as a family, I will get them tested and I will let the school know as soon as possible via telephone;
• If my child, or another child in the group, shows symptoms of COVID-19 at school, I will collect my child from school immediately;
• On my commute, and when dropping my child off and picking them up, I will adhere to social distancing rules.
• When dropping off and picking up, I will strictly stick to the school timings for my child;
• My child must not bring any items into school with them or take items home from school;
• My child will have their temperature taken on arrival and during the day if they feel or present as being unwell
• I will need to remind my child about social distancing rules but accept they are difficult to follow and that my child, and other children, may not always do this successfully
• My child will need to use good hand hygiene;
• I will not be allowed into the school without a pre- arranged appointment.
• I need to support all staff in their efforts to create an ‘as safe as possible’ environment during this pandemic;   
• I will read all letters/messages/emails that are sent home;
• I need to inform the school immediately of any changes to parents/carer and emergency contacts details.

If my child is deemed unsafe, he/she will be sent home and cannot return to school until they can be safe.

Child:

I will do my best to:

• Adhere to the social distancing rules in class and in the playground;
• Stay in my group all day;        
• Tell an adult if I feel unwell;  
• Not bring things into school from home, or take things home from school;
• Only use the equipment provided to me by school;
• Not mix with any other children in the school who are not part of my bubble;
• Follow good respiratory hygiene: coughing and sneezing into elbow or tissue (catch it-bin it-kill it);
• Follow good hand hygiene – use soap and water for 20 seconds/ hand sanitiser;
• Behave well at all times to maintain the safety of myself and others;
• Follow these expectations and know that if I don’t, I will be sent home and will not be able to come back into school until I can be safe.
