Covid procedures

As winter is approaching and cases of Covid within the community may begin to increase, please could we remind you of the procedures to follow if your child tests positive or has a high temperature and signs of a respiratory infection.

* They should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test or their symptoms began.
* If after 3 days, they feel well enough and do not have a high temperature they can return to school (this is because children tend to be infectious for less time than adults)

Please find below the link to the NHS guidance regarding Covid and children
