IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE COVID-19

To help reduce the spread of coronavirus, if your child develops symptoms of coronavirus within 48 hours of being in school they should have a test. If the test result is positive, parents are asked to please let the school know as soon as possible so we can identify and contact pupils and staff who were direct contacts of the positive case as they will need to self-isolate for 10 days.

For example - your child is in school on Friday . On Sunday  (i.e. within 48 hours of them being in school), they develop Covid-19 symptoms. They have a test on Monday and on Tuesday you find out that it is positive - please let school know as soon as possible.

Please let school know as follows:
 ring School Office on 678 7711 or
 please email: covidhotline@meadowsideschool.com
This email address will be monitored daily.
Please help us look after everyone in the Meadowside community and their families, many of whom are very vulnerable to Covid-19, by following this information.

Thank you.

The Merseyside Prevent team are requesting your assistance in terms of Prevent referrals during these difficult times.  There has been a significant decline in referrals and the absence of such safeguarding referrals from areas where we would normally receive regular referrals such as Children’s Services, Vulnerable Adult Care and particularly Education, has been concerning.

I fully appreciate in these times along with agile working, safeguarding teams are all adapting and processes have slightly changed so we are trying to do all that we can to gently remind people of the requirements and the importance of being vigilant and that we in turn are still here to support and assist in the referral process.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the link below leads to the ‘Let’s talk about it’ campaign, that advocates working together to prevent terrorism.  This is an extremely useful site for all professionals and parents, please see the link below:
