Covid Risk Register

	A	B	C	D
1		Unacceptable Risk	>7	School should “balance and minimise any risks from coronavirus (COVID-19) with providing a full educational experience for children and young people.”. We need to implement “sensible and proportionate control measures which follow the health and safety hierarchy of control to reduce the risk to the lowest reasonably practicable level.”
2		Moderate Risk	4 - 6
3		Risks are tolerable	< 4
4
5	Core Principles: staff need to: 1) Look to provide a full curriculum and good quality teaching and learning 2) Make themselves aware of the guidance and risk assessment 3) Use professional judgement and 'common sense'
6	Full Reopening

25	Student to Student transmission
26	General	Children instructed to keep to the left Some stairs one way only	NA
27	Bubbles Students	The concept of bubbles/groups is to recognize that keep social distance is not always possible. The guidance says that can be year groups, classes and even a whole school. Depending on context. We are proposing: Year 7 -11 in year group bubbles as far as possible 6th form bubble ARK bubble Enterprise Bubble	4
28	Movement around school KS3	Year 7,8,9 have minimal movement. They will largely be based in one classroom and teachers will move to them Science experiments will be videos etc Due to the issuse with lack of changing due to building work there will be no core PE	2
29	Movement around school KS4	The combined numbers of KS4 is less than many schools year groups. We will therefore encourage students to maintain distancing around school but recognise that there will be some interaction	4	We have considered significant changes to the curriculum. However the government recognises that this is probematic. We could not reduce bubble size without significantly restricted the timetable and we would struggle to meet students needs in core.

35	Equipment	Students encouraged to bring in equipement, where equipment is shared wipe between year groups Text books, use visualisers or digital version wherever possible Or books allocated to one bubble only	3
36	staff to staff transmission
37	Staff distancing	Staff should retain a 2m distance with students and other staff. Brief passing in the corridor etc is low risk. It may be appropiate to consider a small group of staff as a bubble. Staff need to pre-aprove this with the headteacher Staff training	2
