Please remember that if your child has new symptoms of coronavirus
- persistent cough,
- high temperature,
- shortness of breath,
- and/or loss of sense of taste or smell,
They must not attend school. However, if they are tested and receive a negative result they can normally return to school immediately unless a high temperature is present, in which case they should still stay away from school for 48 hours after their temperature has normalised without the use of medication used to suppress fever.
It is critically important at this time that we adopt a cautious approach to managing the risks from coronavirus, and make our school as safe as we possibly can for our staff and our young people. Your support in being vigilant to any new symptoms of coronavirus and acting in line with current Government guidance helps create that safe environment we are all working hard to maintain and for that I am grateful to you all.
