Reminder: Covid isolation rules

If your child has Covid, isolation is still 10 days from the date of the test. Isolation may be reduced to 7 days if you record a negative LFT home Covid test on Day 6 and Day 7 . The tests must be taken more than 24 hours apart. Your child must have no fever. The flow charts and further information below may help. Full information at…

There are many other winter viruses circulating currently, so please do not send your child to school if they are unwell as per our usual school illness policy. This includes the advice that pupils should have been fever-free for 48hrs (and free of diarrhoea/vomiting symptoms for 48hrs if applicable) and well enough to be at school. If your child is unwell in school, we will contact you and ask you to take them home.
This NHS document on our school website provides guidance on absence for different types of childhood illness:
