It has been confirmed to us today that there has been a positive case of COVID-19 within the school.
We have been in contact with Public Health England and have followed all their advice in relation to the case. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will communicate any further information we receive.
The small number of students who have been in direct prolonged contact with the confirmed case have been contacted and have also received an individual letter. They will be staying at home for 14 days.
The school remains open and your child should continue to attend if they remain well and you have not been informed that they are one of the close contacts.
Please be assured that the school continues to take all advised precautions to prevent transmission of the virus for the safety of our staff and students.
