Your child should self-isolate if they have:
If you confirm that your child is self-isolating they MUST NOT return to school for 7 days. Their absence will be recorded as Coronavirus related.

If for any reason we need to contact parents and carers concerning the schools position the usual communication channels will be used, namely text messages, email and the school website.
The school will NOT be closed unless instructed to do so by Public Health England.
