Following the Government's recent announcement with regards to self-isolation and the impact of Coronavirus on vulnerable groups, as of today we have upgraded our response. In order to try and delay the spread of the virus, I have implemented the following at all Trust schools: - Inter school activities within the Trust and beyond will be suspended. Therefore, all joint activities such as the Performing Arts Group, staff meetings, staff training etc. will cease. - MAT staff will be directed to work at one establishment and will not work across schools. I will be based at Richard Crosse for the time-being. - Support from all external agencies such as Entrust Music Services, peripatetic music lessons and Progressive Sports will cease at the moment. - Swimming and inter-school sports are cancelled. - Extra-curricular clubs provided by external companies are cancelled. - Local Governing Committee, Local Advisory Group and Director meetings are suspended in the short term. - The forthcoming SIAM's inspection at St Mary's had been postponed. - At St. Mary's, the children will be taught in one of three classes rather than four, due to staff absence.
