COVID-19 Pupil Guidance

COVID-19 Pupil guidance – Resuming Lessons

Because of COVID-19 the way your lessons are conducted will change when you resume them. Not only will I do things differently but you will also be required to complete additional tasks.

Before your lesson please contact me if:

You have any symptoms of coronavirus such as a cough or a high temperature
You know, or have been in contact with, anyone that is showing symptoms
I will not charge for any lessons you cancel due to covid-19 symptoms. Equally I may have to cancel lessons if I, or anyone in my household become unwell, or if any of my pupils tests positive for covid-19.

To prepare for your lesson I would like to ask you to:

Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds, in line with government guidance, immediately before leaving your house or place of work.
To wear a face covering. This can be a homemade, cloth one.
Avoid paying by cash if possible, use bank transfer if you can.
Download and use the NHS Test and Trace app.

To prepare for your lesson I will:

Wear appropriate clothing and a face covering.

Send you a text, to check that you are able to take the lesson.
Sanitise all contact points in the car.
Wash my hands thoroughly, or use hand sanitiser.
Download and use the NHS Test and Trace app.

On your lesson we will:

Avoid handshakes
Keep windows open and avoid using the air-conditioning
Avoid sharing pens or teaching aids
Try not facing each other when talking (we may leave the vehicle if we need to discuss anything in detail)

After your lesson:

Please remove face covering safely and wash your hands thoroughly.
Inform me if you become unwell

This guidance may change over time according to government recommendation. It will be part of the ‘new normal’ and may take some time to get used to.

At least 24 hrs notice must be given for lesson cancellations otherwise the lesson will still be charged at full price.
I reserve the right to withhold my car for use in the driving test if in my opinion the pupil is not up to test standard.
I reserve the right to end a lesson if the pupil appears to be too unwell to continue or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Any lessons paid in advance must be used up within 12 months of payment.
All lessons must be paid for in advance or on the day of the lesson, discounts will not apply if payments are late.
