𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐔𝐒 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒

During these difficult and uncertain times, it is our top priority to protect and care for all residents, visitors and employees in our borough.

After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily close the following Telford and Wrekin facilities from 5pm on Friday 20 March:

• All Leisure Centres: Abraham Darby Sports & Leisure Centre, Horsehay Village Golf Centre, Newport Swimming Pool, Oakengates Leisure Centre, Phoenix Sports Centre, Stirchley Sports Centre, Wellington Civic & Leisure Centre
• Telford Snowboard & Ski Centre
• High Ropes, Disc & Adventure Golf at Telford Town Park
• Telford Ice Rink
• Libraries run by Telford & Wrekin Council at Madeley, Newport, Oakengates and Wellington as well as library facilities at Southwater One – we are also recommending that partners who run community library facilities in the borough also close.
• Telford Town park visitor centre (the town park remains open)

These facilities will be closed until the end of May when we will review the decision.

We are also postponing the Council’s outdoor events programme until the end of May, when we will review the decision.

These events include:

• Spring into St George’s Day 19 April
• VE Day celebrations 8 May
• Telford Balloon Fiesta 9 & 10 May

Thank you.

Please note government advice to shut schools from Friday. We are waiting for further info from the government in regards to us support key workers and the most vulnerable; We will need time to process this.

We will be providing every child with physical paper resource packs on Friday. Those of you that are self isolating should not come and get one, but could ask friends to post them through door. We will be posting out some packs too, or alternatively they will be online.

Over the next few days and weeks we will use our website to share information/resources as well as create team email addresses to communicate with you directly.

Please keep checking the website, the bbc and government websites.

It is a pleasure to be your head teacher and I can’t wait to get everyone back into school. Thank you for the continued support.

Please be safe,

New guidance for households with symptoms

Yesterday, the Government introduced new guidance on whole household isolation in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak:

· if you live alone and you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), however mild, stay at home for 7 days from when your symptoms started · if you live with others and you or another member of the household have symptoms of coronavirus, then all household members must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill. It is likely that people living within a household will infect each other or be infected already. Staying at home for 14 days will greatly reduce the overall amount of infection the household could pass on to others in the community · for anyone in the household who starts displaying symptoms, they need to stay at home for 7 days from when the symptoms appeared, regardless of what day they are on in the original 14-day isolation period.

The symptoms are:

· A high temperature (37.8 degrees and above) · A new, continuous cough

The full stay at home guidance for households with these symptoms can be found here:
