The government has withdrawn the previous guidance which previously focused on actions for schools during the Covid-19 outbreak. 

There is general government guidance issued to the population which schools give consideration to. 

This guidance recommends:

• Ensuring good hygiene for everyone

• Maintaining appropriate cleaning regimes

• Keeping occupied spaces well ventilated

Schools are not currently required to encourage regular testing or provide Covid-19 tests for pupils or staff.

Face coverings are no longer advised for pupils, staff or visitors in classrooms or communal areas in schools.
