We are getting increasing numbers of children who are having to self-isolate so we thought it would be helpful to give all families a reminder of the procedure if you or a family member has to self-isolate and have a Covid19 test.
- Inform the school that your child/children won’t be attending due to self-isolating, as well as whether it is due to having symptoms and going for a test, or whether they are a primary contact of someone who has tested positive.
- Let the school know when the test is booked.
- As soon as the results of a test are known please inform the school via email: admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk (out of hours) or a phone call ( in hours). This is really important.
- Ensure the school has an accurate email address, as if children are well they will be expected to follow our Remote Learning Policy – which is also attached.
- The school has a legal duty to provide remote education under the Coronavirus Act 2020 Provision of Remote Education (England) Temporary Continuity Direction. This requires the school to provide remote education for children unable to attend school due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are hoping that we do not need to close a class or the school, and we are continuing to do everything we can to ensure we are operating in a Covid19 secure manner. However, with increasing cases, including in the local area, we need to be fully ready in case this happens.
We fully appreciate the challenges that working parents have, especially if they are self-isolating and also still working from home. We are also aware of limitations with broadband and numbers of devices, especially when there is more than one child carrying out remote learning. Please, please talk to us – we just want to do the best we can to provide an education to children, many of whom have got at least a 3 months gap in their learning.
