Updates to Our Coronavirus Rules Sept. 2022:

• Children who have tested positive for coronavirus can return to school after three days, if they feel well and no longer have a high temperature
• Children who have symptoms of a respiratory infection, including a high temperature, should continue to stay at home until their temperature returns to normal
• Adults with symptoms of respiratory infection and high temperature should continue to try and stay away from others for five days, whilst they are most contagious

We will continue to work hard to reduce the spread of infection for the potentially vulnerable people in our community following these rules: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1065735/AG232_Safe_at_home_infographic.pdf

School will still provide remote education in extreme circumstances where it can not be avoided but our priority will be to focus on providing high quality face to face teaching.

Here is our online learning offer that will apply in exceptional circumstances for children who are self-isolating to access:

​Frequently Asked Questions

​​​Please see answers to some of the questions you may have. We will update this section periodically as parent queries arise.

It is important to note that your child no longer needs to self-isolate if they have been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, or with someone in their household who has had coronavirus. They only need to self-isolate if they develop symptoms, or have a positive lateral flow test.

​Support payment for eligible parents affected by coronavirus

​Some parents might be eligible for a one-off £500 payment if they have been contacted by test and trace and have to self isolate; or if they have to take time off from work to look after a child who has been affected by a bubble closure. More information is available here

Helpful Links

We will continue to monitor symptoms that could be linked to coronavirus really carefully and will send children home if they have any of the identified systems. We expect parent co-operation with this, to help keep everyone safe. If your child has one of these symptoms as the day starts, we would expect you to keep them at home:

A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
