Unfortunately,  due to the current situation and social distancing, we have had to cancel our popular Christmas Fair event.

Therefore we are looking to run a virtual market.  If you are a local business/ craft seller and would like to promote your products via our website and social media platforms. One representative of each type of business will be promoted weekly.

 

If interested please email Mrs Duffy Head of Community  h.duffy@dentoncommunitycollege.org.uk

Letter for parents about COVID-19 symptoms

Public Health England have produced a letter for schools to distribute to parents which explains when a person requires a coronavirus test and what the symptoms of coronavirus are. The Department would be grateful if you could share and circulate this letter amongst parents at your school.

The intention of the letter is to help prevent children being taken out of school unnecessarily and answer some of the questions parents may have around testing.

You can view the letter here.
