What to do if your child develops Covid-19 symptoms over the Christmas Holidays?

If over the Christmas holiday your child:

• presents with coronavirus (covid-19) symptoms or  
• tests positive for coronavirus (covid-19)

I would be very grateful if you could continue to follow the process of informing school. To facilitate this process we have set up an email for parents to report a positive result, please email details to the address below leaving your child’s name, their class and date of test.

By continuing to let us know if your child tests positive, we can notify and advise you and any close contacts with regards to the length of isolation to safely ensure that risk of transmission is reduced.. The self-isolation period has been reduced from 14 days to 10 days.

Should your child receive a positive result you should follow the Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. It is very important that you and your child follow the above guidance to help reduce the spread of infection.

Should your child be identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive within the school, you will be contacted by the school and informed about the required isolation period and date your child can resume normal activities. It is important that you follow the advice and guidance in relation to the isolation period to help reduce the spread of infection.
