COVID information

Latest guidance on what to do if your child is unwell, plus our school’s contingency planning.

We continue to follow the latest guidance from the Department for Education and the UK Health Security Agency. The simplest rule remains: stay at home when unwell, and let us know.

Latest government advice (summary)

  • Stay home when unwell with respiratory symptoms or a high temperature, until well enough to return.
  • Positive tests — adults around 5 days; children and young people under 18 around 3 days. Always follow the current national guidance.
  • Encourage good hand hygiene and the “catch it, bin it, kill it” approach to coughs and sneezes.

If you are unsure whether your child is well enough to attend, please use the NHS guidance below or call the school office.
