Public Health Advice on Returning to School
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has produced the following flyer with advice on Coronavirus (COVID-19)...

The Orchard Community Trust is a Stoke-on-Trent based Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). The Trust currently consists of 5 Primary Schools, 2 Special Schools and one Associate Special school. Our schools are diverse in their make-up and welcome children and young people from all backgrounds. Our Head Office is at Watermill School in Stoke-on-Trent.
The Orchard Community Trust is fully committed to improving the life chances of all children, wherever they may be. This moral obligation, our mission, does not end at the school gates, within our own Local Authorities, or even within our own country. Where we have the capacity to make a difference, we are morally bound to do so.
