Dear Parents and Carers,
As you will know we have unfortunately had a number of positive cases of C19 within our school. This is a worrying and challenging time for every one of us.
If your child has any of the following symptoms, however mild, please do not send your child into school:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.
If your child is awaiting the results of a C19 test, please do not send your child to school - even if they appear well.
However difficult, we must all follow guidance regarding self-isolation periods.
What is meant by self-isolation?
Self-isolating means that you cannot have any contact with people outside of your household. This is to protect everyone and reduce the chances of the virus spreading. This means that the person/people self-isolating need to remain inside their own home for the entire period of self-isolation. This includes not being able to go to shops, visit family members or collect family members from school.
Self-isolate immediately if:
- you have any symptoms of coronavirus(a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
- you've tested positive for coronavirus – this means you have coronavirus
- you live with someone who has symptoms or has tested positive
- someone in your support bubble has symptoms or has tested positive
- you're told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app
- you arrive in the UK from a country with a high coronavirus risk – see UK: how to self-isolate when you travel to the UKfor more information
Mrs Ahmed, Pastoral leader, is the school contact regarding attendance and absence. If you need any more information, please contact the school on 0121 464 5661
Thank you for your continued support
Mrs Z Thewlis
Head of School
