COVID – 19 Christmas arrangements
15th December 2020
Dear Parents,
As you know we are obliged to inform Public Health England and the Department for Education of any positive cases of COVID-19 in our school and conduct a tracing exercise to identify individuals who may be at risk of infection and are required to self-isolate.
For the first 6 days after school ends (17th -23rd December), if a pupil or member of staff tests positive for COVID, having developed symptoms within 48 hours of being in school, we are asked by PHE and DfE to identify close contacts and advise self-isolation as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.
Should you child become symptomatic (any one: high temp., loss of taste/smell/persistent cough) within the timelines above then please contact myself on the following number (07835838625) and I will take the necessary steps following consultation with DfE and PHE.
Can I take this opportunity to wish you and all your family a very safe and happy Christmas.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Gill Pedder
