Coronavirus
If your child, or anyone in your household, shows any symptoms of COVID-19, you must let the school know immediately via telephone or email, you must not send them to school, you must self-isolate as a household and you must get tested. You must let the school know the result of the test as soon as you receive it.
You can book a test via: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/get-a-test-to-check-if-you-have-coronavirus/ or by calling 119.
The main symptoms of coronavirus are:
- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different from normal
Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms.
If a child develops any of these symptoms in school, their parents/carers will be contacted and they must pick them up immediately. |
