Covid-19
As you are aware Covid-19 hasn’t disappeared and I am in the highly vulnerable group and as case numbers are variable. Given that when I contracted covid in hospital my admission lasted 4 months.
I have carried out a risk assessment and we have returned to a
blended teaching formata combination of face to face (in school/studio lessons) and zoom lessons.
It has not been possible to return to teaching in all schools as this requires their risk assessment to allow for visiting teachers as well as meeting the requirements of Owl Music risk assessment! Instead pupils have been offered a lessons at the studio in River.
Changes
Parents will be required to agree to an updated contract and terms and conditions prior to resuming face to face lessons.
A copy of the Risk Assessment will be available on the parent portal along with specific instructions regarding attending lessons.
All pupils and parents may be required to wear a face covering during the lesson
Parents may be asked to wait outside and siblings will no longer be permitted to accompany pupils. The full recommendations can be found here - ISM guidance for private music lessons
The main message is if you are unwell don’t come to lessons!
Contact me and we can arrange online or possibly rearrange a face to face lesson.
Please note that in line with T&Cs rearranging an in person lesson is not automatic and you may be charged for cancellations within the notice period.
Covid 19 Risk Assessment
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 by Ceri Jones | Uncategorized
A draft covid 19 risk assessment is now available to view from the student portal.
The addendum to the teaching contract to allow online lessons to take place is also still available to view. Should you have concerns regarding these terms and conditions changes please contact me.
Prior to resuming face to face lessons I will require each family to complete the updated tuition contract. However as the situation keeps changing with the rule of 6 etc I am awaiting confirmation and further advice from the ISM and DCMS prior to sending out the new arrangements.
As you will see from the risk assessment pupils who travel to lessons on public transport will need to remain as online lessons temporarily.
Where it is not possible to return to teaching in school pupils may be offered a lesson at my home studio in River subject to availability and Covid regulations!
