Now that the prevalence of coronavirus (COVID-19) has increased and the government is clear about the measures that need to be in place to create safer environments within schools. 

School is vital for pupils’ education and wellbeing. In saying that, schools need to determine how they can minimise any risks from coronavirus whilst providing a full educational experience for pupils.

This risk assessment aims to help schools reduce the risk of transmission of the virus whilst still providing education for pupils as they all return to school throughout the Spring term.

The risk assessment has been drawn up utilising both Government and Department for Education guidance, union guidance, input from Harrow Council as our Local Authority in addition to advice and guidance from our independent Health & Safety consultants.
