IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS REGARDING COVID-19

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS REGARDING COVID-19

 

Dear Parents and Carers

 

We are delighted to see our school family back together, however we are very aware that Covid-19 is still very much in circulation and that numbers of cases are rising and are likely to continue to do so. We all need to do what we can to avoid an outbreak at school.

 

With this in mind, we would like to remind parents to look out for the following symptoms:

  • Temperature/fever
  • New, continuous cougheven if mild (a continuous cough means coughing for more than an hour or 3 episodes of coughing in 24 hours)
  • Loss of or change in taste and/or smell

 

If you, your child, or anyone in the household develops any of the above symptoms it is vitally important that the whole household stays at home and that you book a test by going online and let the school know

or phone 119 if you do not have access to the internet.

 

As soon as a negative result is received you can let the school know and your child can return.

 

We have already had several families do this, so far all negative, and it is crucial that we all follow these rules especially as we move into autumn when more colds and coughs start to circulate.

 

There are now attendance codes specially for Covid-19 which are not counted as absence from school so will not affect your child’s attendance rate.

 

Many thanks for your support in this – we all need to do all we can to keep everybody safe.
