COVID-19 information and guidance

As we welcome children back to school, it is very important that parents do not send their child into school if they are showing any symptoms of coronavirus. If in any doubt, please keep your child at home. The government are advising all people with symptoms to stay at home and take a test.

If your child has taken a coronavirus test and is awaiting results – please do not send your child to school.

What to do if you are asked to self-isolate 

  • Do not go to school or any public places - this includes going outside to play with friends or visit family.
  • Do not use public transport or use taxis.
  • Do not go outside to get food or medicine – order online or by phone, or ask someone to bring it to your home.
  • Do not have any visitors in your home – including friends and family, unless they are providing essential or emergency care.
  • Do not go outdoors for exercise – exercise in your home or garden instead and do not attend any clubs or outdoor activities.
