Dear Parents/Carers,

Plans for Christmas Holidays Track and Trace

Over the first 6 days of the school holiday the school is required to track and trace COVID close contacts, in the case of a positive case being reported. If this happens, it is expected every person in each class will be identified as a close contact and advised to self isolate. We have a dedicated telephone number so you can text us if:

• Your child has COVID symptoms and has been tested
• Your child has received their result - positive or negative

When you text, can you inform us of your child's name and class, details of symptoms (including when they started) and time and venue of the test. It is likely that I will then phone families back to ensure I have all relevant information.

In the unfortunate event of a confirmed case, I will inform all families in their class ‘bubble’ the DfE advice for self-isolation, which is expected to be that everybody in that class ‘bubble’ would have to to isolate for 10 days. We have been incredibly careful in school and very much hope that this does not happen and upset everybody’s Christmas plans.

The dedicated telephone number is 07596 820850 - it should only be used to text suspected or confirmed COVID cases.

Many thanks  

Mr Condon
