School Information during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic we are aiming to make things as simple as possible for all our parents and students.

This page aims to keep you notified of the current guidance from the Government and Public Health England, as well as providing resources and links for Home Learning and ideas for looking after wellbeing and mental health during the uncertainty of the pandemic.

This page will be updated regularly so please keep checking back.

The Boulevard Academy would like to extend a big thank you to all our parents, students and staff for their strength, resilience and adaptability. We are very proud of our Boulevard community!

What to do if…

My child has COVID-19 symptoms:

  • Do not send your child to school.
  • Get a Lateral Flow for your child if possible.
  • Inform the school about the results.
  • Stay at home and try to avoid contact with other people until they no longer have a high temperature or they feel well enough to resume normal activities.

If your child’s test comes back negative and they are well enough they should attend school.

My child tests positive for COVID-19:

  • Do not send your child to school.
  • Avoid contact with other people for 5 days after testing positive.
  • Inform the school of your child being positive and when the 5 day period ends.
  • Your household does not need to isolate.
  • Your child will need to access Home Learning if they are well enough. Year 10-11 should check Google Classroom first for work. All year groups have work available on the Work for Self-Isolation page.

Somebody in my household has COVID-19:

  • Students should attend school as normal but pay attention for similar symptoms developing in the student.

Coronavirus Procedures in School

  • For the majority of students, face masks are encouraged in communal areas (unless medically exempt).
  • We are still operating staggered start and finish times for each year group.
  • Normal lunch menus have resumed but staggered lunch times for year groups are in place. More information about lunch can be found on the Academy Meals page.
