FAQ's
Essington is undertaking a range of measures to minimise risks in the School. These include (but are not limited to):

- Monitoring and updating our policies when new information is received;

Current Government advice is that schools can remain open. If that advice changes, Essington may
be required to close.
The School is preparing strategies to provide for remote learning support. There will clearly be an
impact on studies, however, every effort will be made to minimise disruption. Information will be
provided as soon as circumstances require a change to normal school routine.
