We are aware that there is a lot of information out there on social media about returning to schools and the guidance around Covid-19. It can be confusing and worrying so we always recommend the our parents and carers refer to the guidance issued by the government, which can be found here:

They have also produced the information translated into a variety of languages and is available in the following languages:
