Feeling worried?

It’s a very strange time at the moment and you may be feeling worried about what is going on. Please talk about how you are feeling to people at home. It’s far better to talk than to ‘bottle things up’. Please find at the bottom of the page a guide to coronavirus for children. There’s lots of useful information in this guide and it might answer some of the questions you may have about the virus. We are very much looking forward to seeing you all when we are back at school and are thinking of you.
