COVID-19 (Coronavirus) information

Please click on this link (or on the link below) to find out how to download the NHS COVID-19 app to your phone. The Government are asking all people OVER THE AGE OF 16 to download the app in order to help track and trace any spread of COVID-19 infection. 

This app will be useful to monitor where parents have "bumped" into each other in school in the event of any COVID-19 infections and will help us to ensure we put the correct measures in place.

Please do your part and download the app to your phone.
