Dear 6J Parents and Carers,

I hope you are well.

I am emailing to make you aware that we now have three positive cases in 6J. We send our best wishes to those affected.

I want to reassure you we are working closely with the Health Hub. We have reviewed measures that continue to be in place to reduce transmission: the school is operating in bubble groups, hand hygiene, good ventilation, cleaning regimes and vigilance around symptoms for example.

The Health Hub have asked me to communicate with you the advice that all 6J staff, pupils and their siblings should take a PCR as soon as possible: selecting “Advised by the Local Authority” as the reason for testing. The pupils would not need to await the results before returning to school. The advice is that following the PCR the affected group take daily LFDs for 7 days.

Please can you send copies of PCR results to nicola.moody@taw.org.uk

Thank you for your support.

Take care all

Mrs M
