We wish to update you that a student is currently awaiting test results for Coronavirus. Results will be known on Tuesday 3rd March. Please note the student’s family were ill whilst the student was away in Northern Italy on the ski trip and has since become ill with similar symptoms at the weekend. However due to recent travel in Northern Italy and the symptoms of fever/cold, a swab was taken. The student is self-isolating until the results are known.

As advised by public Health England, we continue to be open and will take further advice once results are known. Please be assured that we are monitoring this closely each day and continue to follow the recommended guidelines.

Again please remind your children about the importance of good hand hygiene and see the latest advice from Public Health England below.
