COVID Information
Latest Government advice:
From April free COVID tests are no longer available and the government advice says:
- adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and they no longer have a high temperature
- children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can go back to school, college or childcare when they no longer have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend
- adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice will be 3 days
COVID Measures in school
Most COVID measures have now been lifted. However, we will continue to:
- Remind children of good hand-hygiene.
- Ensure good ventilation where practical.
- Ensure children / staff to stay at home if they are not well enough to be in school.
