Just a quick note to let you know that there are positive COVID-19 cases within your child’s class.

We are taking all the measures we can in school to prevent transmission, while trying to provide a full curriculum of face-to-face learning.

In order to assist us in keeping everybody as safe as possible, while keeping the school operating, we recommend that your child test using LFD (rapid) test kits daily for 7 days before coming to school each morning.

Advice on obtaining test kits is available by following these links:

As always, please ensure you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does display symptoms, please keep them off school and book them a COVID test using this link: Get a free PCR test to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

As general advice, if your child is a household contact of a positive case (even at primary age) we would also ask that they take daily LFD tests for a period of 7 days from the date of exposure to the positive case.
