Dear Parents / Carers,
I would like to update you on school procedures for managing situations where positive cases arise among pupils or staff.
If we are informed of a positive case, we contact the Health Protection Team and follow their guidance. We also liaise with our School Support Team. The Health Protection Team take into account the covid procedures and mitigations in place in school and provide a “warn and inform” letter to be issued by the school to the relevant group/class of pupils’ parents. The letter alerts the parents to the case and advises parents to be vigilant for symptoms of covid-19. Blanket isolation of whole classes in no longer routine.
Should further cases arise, we would liaise with the Health Protection Team and School Support and follow their guidance.
We are very grateful for the communication we have been receiving from parents about situations affecting children and families. Please do keep us informed of any relevant matters and get in touch with us if you have any concerns or require any further information.
Please remember that the Groupcall (email and Xpressions app) is our main means of communicating with you. Please keep us up to date with your contact details and let us know about any problems you may become aware of in receiving information from us.
Kind Regards
Richard Long
Head Teacher
