There has been a positive test result for a child in Year 2. As a result that class bubble will need to isolate for the required period along with the staff members of that team, plus any other identified close contacts. Those parents have all been contacted and informed. This does not affect the rest of the school. We must of course be vigilant and if you think your child is unwell please keep them at home and arrange a test as necessary. Please see letter for all parents:

Information for visitors to the school
What is coronavirus?
A coronavirus is a type of virus. As a group, coronaviruses are common across the world. COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus first identified in Wuhan City, China in January 2020.
The incubation period of COVID-19 is between 2 and 10 days. This means that if a person remains well 10 days after contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus, it is unlikely that they have been infected.
The following symptoms may develop in the 10 days after exposure to someone who has COVID-19 infection:
- Persistent cough
- loss of taste or sense of smell
- high temperature
Generally, these infections can cause more severe symptoms in people with weakened immune systems, older people, and those with long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease. There is no evidence that children are more affected than other age groups – very few cases have been reported in children.

Critical workers: please check this list. If your child is likely to attend school we may ask to see evidence of your employment
(The definitions have changed slightly from the original key worker list)
Please note: the government asks that parents in this category should keep their child at home if they are able to do so and access the home learning offer.
Vulnerable Children
We are also required to have children in school who meet the criteria for vulnerable pupils. If you think you meet the criteria, please have a discussion with us. We are also able to support you and your family if you remain at home.
