Dear Students & Parents,
It has been fantastic to welcome so many students back into the Music School since we reopened on 1st September and we would like to thank our students and parents for their understanding as we adjust to the current situation.
We are aware that there has been an increase in the number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the local area and we would like to remind you of the measures we have taken to protect the safety of students and staff during this time.
Students are asked to sanitise their hands as they enter and leave the Music School.
Instruments and surfaces are cleaned before each lesson and at the start and end of each day.
The reception area is for students ONLY. Parents and siblings cannot wait in reception.
Instruments are set up so that students and teachers are socially distanced.
Lessons have been staggered where possible to reduce the number of students arriving at the same time.
Please Note:
We ask that you arrive as close to the lesson time as possible so that you can go straight into the teaching room.
All students must be dropped off and picked up at the main door off Mill Street or at the doors at the top of the stairs – parents and siblings cannot wait in the reception area at any time.
If you or any member of your household is showing symptoms of COVID-19, please do not attend the Music School.
If your child has been asked to self-isolate and cannot currently attend school, due to a child in their bubble having Coronavirus, please do not bring them to the Music School. More information can be found here: https://www.child-matters.co.uk/coronavirus-in-schools-self-isolation-made-simple/
Any student displaying symptoms or who we are made aware should be self isolating will be asked to leave the Music School and parents will be contacted to collect students where necessary.
If you or your child are required to self-isolate, please ask us about the possibility of the lesson taking place online during the isolation period.
We understand that this is still a very confusing and worrying time for everyone. Please speak to us if you have any questions or concerns and we will do all we can to help.
Returning to the Music School has been a positive step for us all and the teachers are all enjoying being back in the classroom with their students.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Principal
Stafford Music School
