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

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
