Wigan Council Parent Letter

27th January 2022Mrs L Thompson

Please see below a Letter to parents from Professor Kate Ardern , Director of Public Health Wigan

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Secondary School/College Parent/Carer,

I wanted to write to you, following the changes to the COVID-19 measures in English schools that the Prime Minister announced last week, to tell you what those changes are, and to explain the local advice that will continue to be in place for our schools.

As you are probably aware, evidence is showing that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is less severe in terms of the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation for people, particularly those who are fully vaccinated and boosted. However, we now know that it is significantly more transmissible than the previous, Delta variant, which means that it much more easily spreads amongst our population. Nationally (as can be seen on the Gov.uk website), the numbers of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 have been extremely high in recent weeks, and although these numbers have reduced overall in the last two weeks, we are still seeing an extremely high number of cases in Wigan in general, and in Wigan schools, which is in line with what other areas in Greater Manchester and North West England are also experiencing. The current information on our case rates can be found here.

On 19th January, the Prime Minister announced the ending of many ‘Plan B’ measures, including the removal of the requirement for secondary school pupils to wear face coverings in the classroom. From 27th January, nationally, the requirement for secondary school pupils to also wear face coverings in corridors and communal areas is also being removed, although the Government has made it clear that local Directors of Public Health may make recommendations to schools in their areas if they judge it necessary for the safety of public health.

Given the current high prevalence in Wigan, and pressures on our health and social care system, as well as the need to try and maintain our secondary pupils’ access to COVID-19 vaccination opportunities, I have provided advice to all Wigan secondary schools that they should retain the usage of face coverings in corridors and communal areas. There is now a clear body of evidence that face coverings are effective in reducing transmission, and a summary of the Respiratory Evidence Panel’s findings in this respect can be found here. I would like to draw your attention to this sentence in particular:

‘the evidence suggests that all types of face coverings are, to some extent, effective in reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in both healthcare and public, community settings – this is through a combination of source control and protection to the wearer (high confidence)’

I would therefore ask you to support your school if they ask your child to wear a face covering in corridors and communal areas. There are also a number of other, also critical, things we can all do to support our schools in trying to reduce the risk of transmission in their setting and keep our children and young people safe, including; participating in regular testing, testing daily if a close contact of a confirmed case, self-isolating if required to, and taking up the offer of a vaccination or booster dose if eligible to.

I am grateful to you for continuing to support our schools and colleges in these challenging times, and wish you and your child or young person the very best during the rest of the 2021/22 academic year.

Yours sincerely,

Professor Kate Ardern MBChB MSc FFPH Director of Public Health

Headteachers Parent Letter – TikTok

12th November 2021Mrs L Thompson

Dear Parent/Carers

I am writing to you today to bring your attention  to an issue that is affecting all schools nationally at the moment.

As a school we have had a number of offensive videos that are defamatory and offensive targeting members of school staff.  They have been posted on the social media platform TikTok.

The TikTok videos include material making highly insulting and unfounded allegations and abuse to staff in the school. These post contravene and breach the TikTok community guidelines but in some cases the comments and videos fall into the category of hate speech and are abusive.

As a result we are investigating each video to identify the perpetrators and get the videos removed.

We are asking for your support in this matter.  Firstly to raise awareness of the current situation we and also the linked issues is that our students are making comments about the videos and some are again derogatory and defamatory towards staff.
Any student found to be making defamatory comments publicly online will be subject to school disciplinary procedures and any student found to be creating defamatory videos will permanently excluded from the school.

At this moment in time I hope that it isn’t Shevington students creating these videos.

I would like to thank you again for your continued support. If you do see any posts of this nature please report to school and TikTok.

Yours Sincerely

Mr J Grant
Headteacher

Headteachers Update November 5th

5th November 2021Mrs L Thompson

Dear Parent / Carer

Further to my letter before half term regarding covid outbreak measures. This week I have met with Public Health and we will be continuing with some measures in line with other schools in the borough. Please see below a copy of the letter from Wigan Council which recommends that all students, visitors and staff are encouraged to wear face coverings in communal areas in all schools and colleges in Wigan with immediate effect.
Please note that this does not include during lessons / in classrooms, however students and staff may choose to wear them if they wish.

Over the last term, we have been providing face masks to students free during our outbreak management, however in light of the new guidance and ongoing costs we request that all students come to school with their own face coverings. Please ensure your child has a face mask unless exempt. The safety and well being of our students, staff and the wider community is paramount at all times and we thank you in advance for your support with this.

We would like to thank you for your continued support throughout the time we have implemented our outbreak management. Due to the support of pupils and staff following these measures we have been able to reduce the covid cases in school significantly and the effort of all of us in school is very much appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Mr J Grant
Headteacher
