Risk Assessment
As the country gradually eases lockdown from the coronavirus Covid-19 public health crisis, and in accordance with government requirements to open all schools from September 2020, we have completed a robust and comprehensive risk assessment
Trustees of Ebor Academy Trust have to be satisfied that any risks are carefully considered and mitigated as far as possible.
The risk assessment for our school can be found in the link below for your information and for reassurance that we take the health and safety of our school community very seriously.
Following detailed analysis of the risk assessment, we are confident that our school can open within acceptable minimum risk from the start of the new school year 2020-21.
Risk assessments are monitored on a regular basis and any further mitigations will be introduced as necessary.
For the most up to date risk assessment follow this link: HRPA-November -Covid-19-HS-School-Risk-Assessment-1 (3)

Back to School Support
‘My Back to School Bubble’ is an ebook which aims to help children understand the new protective measures that may be in place at their school, in an age-appropriate way. It reinforces public health messages including the importance of hand and respiratory hygiene, while reassuring children that everyone makes mistakes, helping to combat feelings of anxiety, that have been reported by parents.
The published story is available as a free download and can be found alongside our other COVID-19 resources on the e-Bug website.

DfE update on children attending more than one setting – Update
“Parents should be encouraged to minimise as much as possible the number of childcare settings their child attends. Children should attend just one setting wherever possible unless it is essential that they attend different settings to accommodate parent or carer working patterns or because it is essential for their health and wellbeing. Childminder settings should consider how they can work with parents to agree how best to manage any necessary journeys, for example pick-ups and drop-offs at schools, to reduce the need for a provider to travel with groups of children.”
Testing of Under Fives – New
In the ‘Implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings’ guidance the DfE say that children under five can be tested but there is a different approach to booking this:
“All those children and young people eligible to attend, and members of their households, will have access to testing if they display symptoms of coronavirus…. To access testing parents will be able to use the 111 online coronavirus service if their child is 5 or over. Parents will be able to call 111 if their child is aged under 5.”
DFE Guidance – Information for Parents and Carers – Updated
Updated information on support for parents, online resources and vulnerable children.
DFE Guidance Vulnerable Children and Young People – Updated
This guidance has been updated to clarify the existing guidance, including the actions to be taken for each group around their attendance or otherwise at an education setting. There has been no change in the groups included in the definition of vulnerable children.
