School Update - 16/03/2020 - School Closed to Year 9, 10 & 12 Students
16 March 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,
We still have no confirmed cases of Coronavirus COVID-19. However, following the recent guidance we now have a number of staff self-isolating. As a result we do not have enough staff to safely manage the school for all students. As a consequence, reluctantly, we have decided to partially close the school. We fully appreciate the disruption this may cause to families, but have no choice in these exceptional circumstances. Parents should also be aware that in order to maintain a safe and orderly school, your child may not be taught by their usual teacher or follow their normal curriculum.
We are closing the school to all students currently in Years 9, 10 and 12. This partial closure will start on 17th March 2020 and is currently planned to last until 20th March 2020. You will appreciate that things are changing all the time and we may have to revise this plan at short notice. If we need to do this we will contact you by Friday 20th March.
All Year 9 and 10 students working from home should access Ruler via their Office365 accounts* where they will find appropriate work to complete. Year 12 students will receive an email from their teachers informing them of the work they need to complete. If you do not have access to online resources please contact enquiries@cleevepark-tkat.org and we will arrange hard copies to be available for collection by Wednesday after 11am.
We of course remain extra vigilant and are encouraging students, parents and staff to continue taking additional precautions. This includes maintaining high levels of personal hygiene, regularly washing hands and following the Catch it, Bin it, Kill it advice when sneezing or coughing. As you would expect, we already promote these practices at school and we would appreciate your support in continuing to encourage the same at home. If you are worried about your symptoms or those of a child, please call NHS 111. The advice is to not go directly to your GP or other healthcare environments. Please see further information on the Public Health England (PHE) and the National Health Service (NHS) websites.
