Letter to parents, from Public Health England:
NHS Test and Trace
As part of the reopening guidance by the government, our staff and parents/carers are expected to engage with the NHS Test and Trace process for anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19. This must be done as soon as possible and you must:
- book a test if you or your child are displaying symptoms and inform the school immediately of the results
- provide details of anyone you/they have been in close contact with if you/they test positive or if asked by NHS Test and Trace
- self-isolate if you/they have been in close contact with someone who develops coronavirus symptoms or someone who tests positive.
If you return to the UK from abroad, check whether you need to self-isolate.
