COVID-19

As the country gradually eases lockdown from the coronavirus covid-19 public health crisis, and in accordance with government requirements to open schools to wider year groups on a phased basis, we have completed a robust and comprehensive risk assessment process. Trustees of Ebor Academy Trust have to be satisfied that any risks of a wider opening 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 consider this school should not be open for wider year groups at this time, but we will continue to accept vulnerable children and children of workers critical to the covid-19 response. Risk assessments are reviewed on a regular basis and in line with government guidance. Trustee approval of the reasons for a wider opening, or not, is monitored and reassessed regularly and is subject to change.
