| We acknowledge from November 2021 a highly infectious strain of COVID |
|||
| became a danger in the community, as a result we cancelled all planned |
|||
| in-person events as these were largely indoor. We held a very imaginative |
|||
| Naughty Elf Event in a community Car Perk and sent each family a high |
|||
| value Christmas Boxto enjoy at home. |
|||
| We also acknowledge that we adopted a Covid Policy that was more |
|||
| stringent than the Educational guidelines. We felt our families were |
|||
| vulnerable and as such, social activities couldn't be managed the same |
as | ||
| an educational necessity. This caused conflict with some families, |
|||
| resulting in Trustees receiving negative comments. |
|||
| To date, we haven't needed to deal with any COVID outbreaks among |
