The Department for Education coronavirus (COVID-19) helpline is available to answer questions about coronavirus relating to education and children’s social care.
Parents and young people can contact this helpline by calling:
It is likely that some pupils, parents and households may be reluctant or anxious about attending school even if they are looking forward to it. This may include pupils who have shielded in the past but no longer need to, or those living in a household with someone who is clinically vulnerable or extremely vulnerable.
As ever, please contact your class teacher (Junior School) or Adviser/Personal Tutor (Senior School) to discuss any worries that you have about returning to school, and we will support those pupils who may find the transition difficult on a case by case basis.
For pupils or for families who would like further support, there are also a number of resources available that you may find helpful:
St Chris, alongside over 250 boarding schools across the UK, has adopted the Boarding Schools’ Association COVID-Safe Charter.
The charter is a voluntary code which aims to reassure families by detailing the steps schools are taking to ensure the safe return and care of boarding pupils. You can read the charter yourself here.
