We currently have 17 children who have tested positive with COVID 19 and 5 members of staff (teaching/support staff).

 

We have had to use members of our skilled support team and supply teachers to cover classes as a  result of teacher absence. Our teacher supply agencies tell us that they have no available staff for this week. If their staff become available, we have first refusal. 

 

Infection now may partly reflect more testing. Nevertheless, we must all continue to take steps to reduce the risk of infection.

 

Parents please continue to:

• test your child as much as you can using a lateral flow test, especially in classes where cases are rising;
  • order easy to use nasal tests for home
• be extra cautious and alert to any changes in your child's health.
  • If you see symptoms of COVID-19, stop sending your child to school and check with a COVID test;
• wash hands as soon as pupils arrive at home after school.

We continue to work under the 'amber' control measures to reduce the risk of infection spreading and classes being disrupted.
