Covid Guidance
I wanted to update you all with the latest Covid guidance
Children should not come into school if they have symptoms, have had a positive test result or other reasons requiring them to stay at home due to the risk of them passing on COVID-19 (for example, they are required to quarantine).
If any child in school develops symptoms, however mild, we will send them home to seek a test and isolate.
If they do not have symptoms, the latest government guidance is that children are not required to self-isolate if they live in the same household as someone with COVID-19, or are a close contact of someone with COVID-19.
Instead, they will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace, informed they have been in close contact with a positive case and advised to take a PCR test.
We would encourage all individuals to take a PCR test if advised to do so. They should also wear a face covering when travelling on public or dedicated transport.
Please inform the school immediately if your child tests positive for Covid.

Many thank you to all of our families for working with us in order for the school to get back to normal. If any parents have any comments they would to share, lease do speak to me or a member of the team. We are always happy to receive input.
Best wishes
