Covid Safety
Our full Risk Assessment can be found in the policies section of the school website. As a snapshot however, here are the measures we have taken to make our school as Covid secure as possible.
- All adults and children wearing masks in indoor communal areas (not classrooms and not children in primary)
- All Beaulieu teachers to remain behind the 2m line in each classroom (secondary and in primary wherever possible)
- All adults to remain 2m from each other
- LSAs restricted to dedicated bubble (wherever possible)
- Parents / carers to drop off / pick up children off site (not EYFS)
- All meetings to be remote if strict social distancing cannot be maintained
- SLT to always maintain distance from each other to ensure school can operate if one member has to isolate / becomes ill
- All children split into Year group bubbles
- Smaller class bubbles in secondary school
- Identified classrooms for each bubble, not used by any other bubble*
- Rota lunch - stations disinfected between sittings. Children in secondary, sitting in class bubbles.
- Dedicated outdoor space for each bubble
- Minimised visitors onto site
- Secondary school, directional system
- Increased cleaning of toilets, door handles and frequently touched surfaces
- Parents visiting school for consultative evenings suspended in favour of a remote alternative
- Hand sanitiser stations installed
- 200+ bottles of disinfectant and cloths, spread amongst all classrooms so that any organised or ad-hoc cleaning can take place
- Individual Risk Assessments undertaken for more vulnerable children and staff
- Use of staffroom suspended to minimise chances of transmission between adults
- Instigated large group teaching spaces as a fall back in case of large scale staff absence
- Plans in place for longer term remote / rota learning
- Work ready on website, matched to the curriculum for all children that need to access work from home and at short notice.
