Dear Parents/Carers,

In light of the growing concerns, and media coverage, with regard to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the school would like to reassure you that we continue to receive regular updates from Cardiff County Council.

The Council is closely monitoring guidance from the Welsh Government/NHS Wales and we will keep you updated with any further developments, especially those linked to educational settings.

These are some of the messages being discussed in classes and we ask that you continue to do the same with your child/children:

Pupils, students, staff and visitors should wash their hands:

• before leaving home

• before food preparation
• before eating any food, including snacks
• before leaving school

In order to reassure everyone further:

• There are tissue boxes for each classroom
• Signs have been put up in every toilet/washroom to remind pupils/staff/visitors to correctly wash their hands
• Hand sanitiser placed adjacent to the signing in iPad
• A toilet checklist system
• Notices to parents on any updates
• Soaps available in all toilets
