URGENT YEAR 4 UPDATE

letter re Year 4

Year 4 Parents and Carers

Please find attached an urgent letter for your attention.

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.

If you wish to book a PCR for reassurance you can do and should select: “Advised by the Local Authority” as the reason for testing. The pupils would not need to await the results before returning to school unless symptomatic. Please send copies of results to nicola.moody@taw.org.uk

Best wishes to all of our affected staff and pupils.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs M

COVID

Just a quick note to let you know that there has been a positive COVID-19 case within Year 4.

You do not have to do anything, and your child will not have to self-isolate and can come in to school as normal, but you may be contacted by Test & Trace if your child is identified as a close contact. If they are, the advice you will be given on behalf of your child is as follows:

“Even if you do not have symptoms, you will be advised to have a PCR test as soon as possible. Children aged 4 and under will not be advised to take a test unless the positive case was someone in their own household.

You should not arrange to have a PCR test if you have previously received a positive PCR test result in the last 90 days, unless you develop any new symptoms of COVID-19, as it is possible for PCR tests to remain positive for some time after COVID-19 infection.

Even if you are vaccinated, you can still be infected with COVID-19 and pass it on to others. If you are identified as a contact of someone with COVID-19 but you are not required to self-isolate, you can help protect others by following the guidance on how to stay safe and help prevent the spread. As well as getting a PCR test, you may also consider:

  • limiting close contact with people outside your household, especially in enclosed spaces
  • wearing a face covering in enclosed spaces and where you are unable to maintain social distancing
  • limiting contact with anyone who is clinically extremely vulnerable
  • taking part in twice weekly LFD testing

This advice applies until 10 full days after your most recent contact with the person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

If you develop symptoms at any time, even if these are mild, self-isolate immediately, arrange to have a COVID-19 PCR test and follow the guidance for people with COVID-19 symptoms.”

You may wish to follow this advice in any case, but we would certainly ask that you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does develop symptoms, keep them off school and get them PCR tested using the following link: https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

Take care

Mrs M
