Covid-19 Bulletin – 8.6.20

Message from Edwina Grant OBE

Executive Director Education and Children’s Services

I am writing to let you know that our Director of Public Health has reviewed his guidance that schools should not welcome more pupils and has determined that it should not change.

That means Dr Sakthi Karunanithi is advising that you should continue to delay reopening to Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils. It is still the case that he believes two of the five government tests are not being met in the county.

Although the number of new cases has decreased, Lancashire and the North West has a high number of cases compared to many other regions in the country.

This will be reviewed again next week and we will keep you informed.

Safeguarding Update

Safeguarding the pupils continues to be our priority during full and partial closure of the school. If you have any concerns regarding a pupil at Holly Grove School please contact Karen Alty (DSL) on 01282682278 or email head@holly-grove.lancs.sch.uk or Eve Taylor on 01282682278 or email at deputy@holly-grove.lancs.sch.uk. Further information on how we are protecting the pupils and additional contact information can be found in the Child Protection and Safeguarding Addendum (1.6.20) here.
