Reopening Guidance for Monday 8th March 2021
We look forward to seeing you all again!
Please find below a guide issued by NHS Test and Trace regarding regular rapid covid-19 testing. Regular rapid testing is now available for parents / carers of nursery, school children and college students, as well as adults in their households, childcare and support bubbles. Having carried out some investigations there are no rapid lateral flow test sites or home test collection points locally within our area, therefore if you would like to participate the option available would be to order a home test kit online. Please click on the links below for more information if this is of interest to you.

Staying safe whilst online
Whilst working from home, it is important to ensure all pupils understand how to stay safe online and what to do if there is a problem. These video links might help you to initiate a conversation with your child about the importance of online safety.
More information to support you can be found on the parent guide of the 'thinkuknow' website.
INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of a new continuous cough, high temperature (37.8 degrees and above) and/or a loss of, or change in your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia). If you have these symptoms, however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 10 days from when your symptoms started (if you live alone), or still 10 days (if you live with someone who has symptoms).
You do not need to call NHS 111 to go into self-isolation. If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or are no better after 10 days, contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111. For a medical emergency dial 999.
