If your child or anyone in your family has symptoms of Covid 19 (new continuous cough, high temperature, and/or loss of taste or smell) you must let us know and get tested. We will send children home who we feel may be unwell and we may ask you to get tested if we feel this is necessary. We will expect you to come and collect your child immediately if we feel they are unwell.  It will not always be the case that the whole bubble will need to go home if a case is suspected, or if a child or adult tests positive; as a school we are now expected to contact Public Health and the Dfe and they will advise on our course of action.

We continue to take guidance from Public Health England and the Local Authority. Taking this into account, we are now limiting access to the site to essential visitors only. If you are unsure as to whether your proposed visit is considered essential, please email the School Secretary.

If your visit to Langdale is an essential one, we would nevertheless ask that you refrain from visiting if:

• you have travelled from or transited through any of the countries or areas that are currently on ‘lockdown’ in the past 14 days.
• you have developed a fever (above 37.8C) or a new, continuous cough within the last seven days.
• anyone in your household is required to self-isolate in accordance with Government guidelines.

Along with all members of the LFS community, any visitors to the School should wash their hands with soap and water before leaving home and once they arrive here. Gel hand sanitiser will also be available on arrival and throughout your visit.

We ask that all visitors please wear a mask or face shield during their visit please.

Please would all visitors use the NHS Test and Trace App and check in with the QR code available at the entrances. 

For the avoidance of potential embarrassment, we would also like to advise you that the School is currently operating a ‘no handshake’ policy for all members of its community.

We apologise for not being able to give you our usual warm welcome, but we must take the current situation very seriously and look after the welfare of our pupils and staff.

If you have any questions, please contact the member of staff you were due to visit.
