HEALTH AND SAFETY VIDEO FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AT SCHOOL
PUBLIC TRANSPORT GUIDANCE
Guidance has been issued that from June 15th 2020 the public is advised to consider wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces such as shops, trains and buses to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. Please be advised that any students travelling on public transport should ensure that they have an appropriate face covering for the journey to and from school. If students are using disposable masks, they will be directed to remove them and place them in a designated bin outside of the White House. If students are using fabric masks/ face coverings, they must bring a plastic bag to school with them. Once outside the White House, they will be directed to remove their face covering /mask, fold it inward and place it in the plastic bag and then put that into their school bags. All students will then be directed to wash their hands before they move to their classrooms (‘bubbles’).

PE WITH JOE – Fitness coach Joe Wicks has said he is donating “every single penny” of the money made by his online PE sessions to the NHS. Wicks’s YouTube channel, The Body Coach TV, has live fitness sessions every day at 9am, aimed at children in a bid to help them stay active while the UK is in lockdown and schools are closed. In a post shared on Instagram, Wicks said the popularity of his videos had increased his advertising revenue “unlike anything I’ve seen or experienced on my channel before”. He said: “So I’ve decided that as long as I’m the nation’s PE teacher, every single penny of the money generated on these videos is going to the place where we need it the most right now. All of it is going straight to the NHS, to support the real heroes right now.
