DS Risk Warnings: Weather and Flood

By
Hello all,

Please see immediately below, details of today's Yellow warning from the Met Office regarding the wind and its potential today. Be particularly aware at break and lunchtime if pupils are 'released' outside. Look out for items that could easily blow around and consider whether parking near trees needs review.

Below that is a repeat of the Flood Alert and Flood Warning information. The situation has eased in places, however, some Warnings and Alerts are still in place and the impact of the wind will add a level of concern to them.

Anyone agree that the parents that took their young children onto Mullion harbour wall, (a favourite spot) yesterday, to find waves coming over the top and nearly washing them all into the water, should be identified and a safeguarding visit take place urgently?

YELLOW WARNING: Wind

Between 08:00 Thu 4th and 19:00 Thu 4th

A spell of strong and gusty winds is expected to move eastwards during Thursday. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely with some journeys taking longer. Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are also possible. There is also the potential for some short term loss of power supplies. It is likely that some coastal routes, seafronts and coastal communities exposed to these winds will be affected by spray and/or large waves.

Chief Forecaster's assessment

The strongest winds will affect southwest England and Wales during the morning, moving east to reach eastern parts of England later in the afternoon. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely fairly widely with some gusts reaching 65-75 mph along exposed coasts and over high ground in the west.

​Flood information from the Environment Agency:

​There are Flood Warnings in place, Flooding is expected - immediate action required, particularly in the Portishead Dock and river area.


F​lood Alerts - Flooding is possible - be prepared, are more widely in place.

DS Risk Warning: Health - Coronavirus/Covid 19

By
Hello all, You may well have already heard or seen that as a result of the Government's meeting today on this issue they have moved to a different level of response to the virus and its progress namely DELAY. After reading the following and reflecting on it you may come to the conclusion a communication to all staff and another to parent/carers would be timely, as soon as possible, to try to stave off issues on site tomorrow morning. With immediate effect the advice is that anyone with a new persistent cough or high temperature should self-isolate for seven days. From Friday, school trips abroad will be banned. This should trigger the ability to claim from your insurers but there's no compensation for the disappointment and lost opportunity, of course. Older people and those with pre-existing health conditions are being told not to go on cruises. PM Boris Johnson said it was "the worst public health crisis for a generation".   He said there was no...
