Coronavirus (COVID-19) advice

Across all of the National Autistic Society schools, we are following closely the advice and guidance issued by Public Health England and The Department of Education in regards to the risk posed by Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are frequently assessing and updating our position in line with the official response; our students’ welfare remains our priority first and foremost and we will keep you updated of any necessary developments. 

Please refer to the latest government guidance for any concerns and queries you may have.

The Department of Education have setup a dedicated helpline to answer questions about Coronavirus (COVID-19) related to education.

Staff, parents and young people can contact the helpline as follows:

Phone: 0800 046 8687

To help prevent the potential spread of any infections, including Covid-19, Public Health England has launched the Catch it, Bin it, Kill It campaign. Using a tissue to catch a sneeze, binning the tissue and washing your hands is the best way to stop the spread of any germs or viruses. We would ask all parents, carers and their children to follow this good hygiene to stop the spread of germs.
