COVID19 Safety
The safety of our staff, parents, students and attendees is of utmost importance. For this reason we have taken significant steps to ensure our Madrasa & Masjid are ‘COVID safe’. This has been done by reviewing government advice.
Note: With time and in-line with government advice we will look to relax some measures where possible.
Madrasa
Clean Hands
Hand sanitisers are available at the entrance of the Madrasa/Masjid and in class. We will continue to promote good hand hygiene.
Respiratory Hygiene
We will maintain good respiratory hygiene by promoting the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach.
Drop Off/Pick Up
3 entrances will be used at the Oldhams centre. These are allocated to the following classes. Students are advised to enter and exit using their entrance to avoid mixing bubbles.
-
Main Entrance - Illume Stars Nursery/Reception (5.30pm start) & Class B (5.15pm start)
-
Side Left Entrance - Class A & Class C (5.15pm start)
-
Side Right Entrance - Class F (5.15pm start)
Queue
Markers will be visible on the floor of the entrances. We ask parents to use these as guides for social distancing when waiting in a queue to drop off their child.
Wait in Car
If you arrive before class time, we request that you remain in your car until the class allocated time.
Symptoms
Students showing any signs of unwell should be kept at home or they will be sent home. Parents will be expected to pick them up immediately. The students will be kept apart from other students/teachers during this period.
Bubbles
Each class will be treated as a bubble. Contact between bubbles will be avoided.
Equipment Use
Sharing of equipment and books will be minimised. We request students to bring their own stationary from home.
Cleaning
Frequently touched items such as benches will be cleaned before the start of each class. Carpet/rugs used on the floor will be disinfected using spray.
Food
Strictly no food from outside to be brought in by children. This is to avoid sharing of food/sweets. Any treats given by the teachers will be done via separate individual portions.
Close Contact
Contact between teachers, students and parents will be minimised.
Prayer Mat - Class M Only
Class M Boys are to bring a Prayer Mat with them to class. They will need it when performing Namaz at the Masjid.
