Should your child develop Covid symptoms during the holidays, please would you send a text to the following number, 07719 108185 stating your child’s name, year group and the date symptoms began. This also applies to any positive test results and the need to self-isolate.
Please keep yourself and your children safe over half term, COVID cases are increasing daily and we have to be forever vigilant.
Latest update on testing and isolation periods.
-
If a child or member of staff tests positive, they now have to self-isolate for at least 10 days, even if they feel well.
-
If they are NOT a known contact of a confirmed case they can return to school if the result is negative, providing they feel well and they have not had a fever for 48 hours.
-
If they are a contact of a confirmed case, they must stay off school for 14 days isolation period, even if they test negative. This is because they can develop the infection at any point up to 14 days after being in contact a confirmed case. This would apply to pupils and staff who have been in a bubble with a positive testing child. School Leadership will decide which members of staff have come into close proximity with the bubble and therefore also need to self-isolate for 14 days.
-
Please be aware that anyone admitted to hospital is likely to receive a test for Covid, whether they are showing symptoms or not.
-
Covid symptoms are now being classed as: a persistent cough, high temperature, and/or loss of taste and smell.
-
No action needs to be taken as a school until a test result is shared with us.
Please also note that we cannot request test results, parents have to approach us with results.
