Covid Update

As you may know the government brought in new guidance on daily testing for contacts of positive cases on Tuesday 14th December.  You can access an article detailing information on the Gov.uk website here.  Please note that this guidance asks for children under 12 who have been a close contact of a positive case to do daily lateral flow tests at the discretion of a parent/carer, which has previously not been recommended by public health. 

Please access a simple chart detailing the guidance here. 

Should there be an 'outbreak' in school, guidance is likely to be different and will come directly from PHE and the LA at the time of the outbreak taking into consideration wider factors. 

Covid-19 Guidance for parents and Carers should your child develop symptoms can be accessed here.
