Covid-19 Notifications and Christmas:
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you all are aware, we break up on Thursday 17th December for the Christmas holidays. With the ongoing pandemic, we have been informed that Public Health England/Track and Trace may contact us up to and including Christmas Eve regarding isolation actions needed.
Please read the information below to familiarise yourself with actions to take if your child becomes unwell during the Christmas break. I sincerely hope this will not be the case.
What does this mean for parents and pupils?
- If any pupil feels unwell or becomes symptomatic on Friday 18th December or Saturday 19th December, it is essential you inform school via

- As soon as you receive the test results (whether positive or negative), please inform school via email.
- Should someone test positive, school will communicate with any affected staff or pupils who are considered to be close contacts. This will be via text message.
- Identified staff and pupils, who have been informed of close contact, must act appropriately and isolate themselves in line with government guidance.
- If pupils become unwell/symptomatic from the 20th December onwards, please inform school via email and follow all government guidance. No action will be needed for other staff/pupils in school because the 48 hour window will have passed.
Thank you for all of your support during the Autumn term. Covid-19 continues to challenge us and the way we work, but nonetheless, we have strived to keep school positive and our pupils happy, healthy and safe.
I hope that you all have a wonderful break.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Z Thewlis
Head of School
