Guidance has changed, just prior to our Christmas break, surrounding how parents will be notified of a positive case in the school community.

As before children mixing in schools are deemed to be ‘low risk contacts’ and would not need to isolate unless contacted by Test and Protect.

We will now send out the attached letter on our school app which will be available to all but will clearly identify the class where a positive case has been confirmed. Please read the letter and take notice of the recommendation that public health are advising, where possible, that children in identified classes take a lateral flow test before returning to school.

An example of the new letter we will issue can be read by clicking below
