Resources and guidance

Does my child need to wear a face covering when they attend school?

All staff and pupils in secondary schools are required to wear face coverings in communal areas.

This will apply to all pupils in year 7 and above.

If you have any concerns regarding your child wearing a face covering, please contact the school.

Public Health England has made available resources on how to make a simple face covering.
