Visitors to ACE

As we return to school for the start of the new academic year, please note that visitors to school are permitted strictly by appointment only and only when your visit is essential.

Please make sure that you:

• Sign in on arrival
• Wash/sanitise your hands when you arrive and as necessary during your visit
• Carry a mask or face covering and wear it as required
• Maintain a safe distance (at least 1metre and ideally 2 metres) from other people at all time.

You can help us to keep our community safe by:

• Using tissues (or the crook of your elbow) whenever you need to cough or sneeze, disposing of your used tissues safely and washing your hands immediately. CATCH IT BIN IT KILL IT
• Staying away from school if you have symptoms, have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been in close contact with a conformed case, inline with Government guidance
• Respecting and supporting the safety measures we have in place.

If you have any questions about health and safety and especially as it relates to the controls we have put in place to minimise the risk from COVID-19, please do not hesitate to contact the Head Teacher at altrinchamce.admin@trafford.gov.uk.

STAFF SAFEGUARDING TRAINING

In response to the ways school have changed their provision and the nature of children accessing educational resources online, I have asked all stakeholders at ACE to undertake an online safeguarding module which looks at how to keep our children safe during the pandemic.  Safeguarding and Child Protection remain a high priority at ACE.

Updated handwashing advice

It is essential that everyone washes their hands more often, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand washing with soap employs mechanical action that loosens bacteria and viruses from the skin, rinsing them into the drain. Drying hands afterwards makes the skin less hospitable to the virus. Hand sanitiser can be effective if soap is not available or the situation makes using soap less feasible (i.e. when outside) but using hand sanitiser provides none of the virus-destroying friction that rubbing your hands together and rinsing with water provides.

The latest guidance and video on hand washing can be found at:

The e-Bug project is led by Public Health England and has a dedicated webpage for learning resources on hand washing and respiratory hygiene.
