many parents working in these critical sectors will be able to

To help ensure that the risk of virus spread for both colleagues and pupils is

as low as possible, we should:

• tell children, parents, carers or any visitors, such as suppliers, not to

enter the education or childcare setting if they are displaying any

symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19)

• consider how children arrive, and reduce any unnecessary travel on

coaches, buses or public transport

• ensure class sizes reflect the numbers of teaching staff available and

are kept as small as possible

• stagger lunch times, break times, and the movement of pupils around

the school, to reduce large groups of children gathering

• School to work with catering provider for separate serving outlets to

help with social spacing

• discourage parents from gathering at school gates

• Best attempts are to be made to follow the social distancing guidelines

• Keep pupils at their desks, away from each other, for as much of the

school day as you can, ideally 2 metres (3 steps) apart ( desks to be

organised in MFL and Main block to be socially distanced)

• One way system in place in Main block and MFL

• floor markers to be in place on the way to school and around main

building and MFL

• COVID guidance to be issued to colleagues as a reminder

We are asking:

• think about how measure can be implemented

• make sure anyone who is feeling ill stays at home

• ensure all colleagues and pupils:

o wash their hands with soap and water for 20

seconds frequently

o are encouraged not to touch their faces

o use a tissue or elbow to cough or sneeze and

use bins for tissue waste

• ensure help is available for children and young people

who have trouble washing their hands

• engage parents and children in education resources such

as e-bug and PHE schools resources

• Increase of cleaning of surfaces in classrooms, including

desks and handles, and within toilet blocks and changing

rooms,

• for children and young people with an EHCP plan, work

with the local authority as well as with parents to decide

how best to continue supporting these children and

young people to stay healthy

• Posters in colleague areas to remind of social distancing and not

sharing resources

Guidance for employees in shared office areas can be found here:

gov.uk/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19

• A few general indicators will be relevant:

• make regular announcements to remind to follow social

distancing advice and wash their hands regularly

• encourage the use of digital and remote transfers of

material where possible rather than paper format, such

as using e-forms, emails and e-banking

• where it is possible to remain 2 metres apart, use floor

markings to mark the distance, particularly in the most

crowded areas (for example, where queues form) –

• where it is not possible to remain 2 metres apart,

colleagues should work side by side, or facing away from

each other, rather than face to face if possible

• where face-to-face contact is essential, this should be

kept to 15 minutes or less wherever possible

• as much as possible, keep teams of workers together,

and keep teams as small as possible

• Additionally, for customer-facing business:

• use signage to direct movement into lanes, if feasible,

while maintaining a 2 metre distance

• regulate entry so that the premises do not become

overcrowded

• use additional signage to ask visitors not to enter the

premises if they have symptoms

6. COVID-19 testing employees

All colleagues are keyworkers. All employees at Test Valley School are

classified as key/essential workers and therefore, qualify for COVID-19

testing if you display these symptoms. Testing key workers, and those in

their household, for the presence of COVID-19 is important in helping to

prevent unnecessary self-isolation, increasing the number of people who

can return to their role with the School, to manage risk and absence.

Colleagues are to notify -

9. PPE. The current Government advice indicates that educational staff do not require PPE including face masks and face coverings

Central Government stipulates that wearing a face mask in schools or other educational setting is not recommended

PHE/ DFE guidance ( updated 16 June 20) stipulates :

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safe-working-in-

education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care/safe-working-in-

education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care-settings-including-the-

use-of-personal-protective-equipment-ppe

The majority of staff in education, childcare and children’s social care settings will not require PPE beyond what they would normally need

If a child becomes unwell with symptoms of Coronavirus

whilst at school and needs direct personal care until they

return home – the following measures are to be in place:

• A fluid resistant surgical face mask should be

worn by the supervising adult if a distance of 2m

cannot be maintained

• If contact with the child is necessary then

disposable gloves and apron should be worn

for their work, even if they are not always able to maintain a distance of 2 metres from others. PPE is only needed in a very small number of cases: • where an individual child, young person or other learner becomes

ill with coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms and only then if a distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained

• where a child, young person or learner already has routine intimate care needs that involves the use of PPE, in which case the same PPE should continue to be used

Education, childcare and children’s social care settings and providers should use their local supply chains to obtain PPE. If a child comes to school and insists on wearing a mask we should allow them to do so in the following circumstances:

a) show them the statement from the DFE b) b) Discuss with them the concerns they have and see if it is a

matter of reassurance and understanding c) c) be mindful of any cases where a child may have asthma or

respiratory illness d) if they wish to continue to wear a mask they MUST do so all

day e) Masks cannot be disposed of on the school site f) The masks must bne washed or replaced daily

• If a risk assessment determines that there is a

risk of splashing to the eyes then eye protection

should be worn

• PPE kits are available at reception

• Cleaning team members are to wear the above

PPE whilst cleaning areas that have come into

contact with this situation.

Whilst we are following the DFE guidance and are not

recommending the use of masks ( unless the DFE

guidance changes) if pupils wear them we will allow

them to under the terms agreed

We will not be able to supply face masks if individuals

chose to wear them
