Sibford School is proud to be part of the #safeschools initiative

Sibford School is proud to be part of the #safeschools initiative which means we have committed to adhering to the Boarding Schools' Association's (BSA) COVID-Safe Charter.

In addition to this, #safeschools has proposed a number of additional optional measures for schools to consider. This is to ensure that we are going “above and beyond” and we are therefore keen to implement and delighted to be working with other schools and guardians to ensure high levels of safety within boarding UK.

Victoria Baker, Head of Boarding at Sibford School said 'We are delighted to be part of the #safeschools initiative. The main objective of the charter is to create a set of minimum standards that all schools will agree to have in place in advance of September 2020.'

Established in May 2020, the BSA COVID-Safe Charter aims to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff as schools begin to re-open across the UK, following closures due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

This will allow UK schools to:

• Facilitate our core purpose of ensuring education continues with minimal disruption

• Standardise a minimum level of precautionary measures across UK boarding schools

• Ensure the safest possible environment for all day and boarding students

• Bring the sector together with a strategically considered response and proactive approach
