COVID Guidance Update – June 2022

21st June 2022 By juliewalker

It is extremely pleasing that a semblance of normality has returned to the world with COVID no longer constantly making the headlines. However, as we are starting to experience a handful of positive cases within our school community, it is a good time to remind ourselves of the current government guidance.
From May 2022, schools have been expected to manage Covid-19 in line with other Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI). Management of cases of Covid-19 has now been incorporated into the document: health protection in schools and other childcare facilities guidance.
The guidance states:
Children with mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or mild cough, who are otherwise well, can continue to attend their education or childcare setting.
Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature (38 degrees or more) should stay at home and where possible avoid contact with other people. They can go back to education or childcare setting when they no longer have a high temperature and they are well enough.
If a child or young person has a positive COVID-19 test result they should stay at home and where possible avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test. The risk of passing the infection on to others is much lower after 3 days, provided that they feel well and do not have a high temperature.
Please support us in preventing outbreaks in our school community by following the guidance outlined above. If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Walker during school hours on: 07766510933

Household Support Grant Summer 2022

14th June 2022 By juliewalker

In the Chancellor’s spring statement the Government made an additional £470m available to Local Authorities nationally to support families through the Household Support Grant.
To distribute the Local Authority received funding, they would again like to send vouchers to families that are eligible for Free School Meals via schools. The vouchers are not to cover free school meals during holiday periods, but are there to help families with the costs of fuel and food through the summer.
The value of each voucher will be £75.00 per eligible FSM pupil and you will receive them by the 8th July. When we have more accurate dates we will let you know.
The vouchers will be distributed as before via email or collection from school. If you have CHANGED your email address or wish to CHANGE how you receive your vouchers please text message 07766 510933 with your details and name of child/ren along with your new details. Alternatively, private message on our Facebook page or message WhatsApp 07766 510933. Please do not ring the school office. Thank you

Covid Update 4th January 2022

4th January 2022 By juliewalker

Dear Parents and Carers,
Happy New Year to you all. We look forward to welcoming pupils back from tomorrow (Wednesday 5th January).
Unfortunately, the situation with COVID-19 does not seem to have improved and the new Omicron variant has led to a large increase in the number of people in County Durham testing positive.
Following recommendations from Durham County Council’s Public Health team, if there is a positive case of COVID in your household, your child can still attend school as long as they undertake daily Lateral Flow Tests (LFD) at home for 7 days.
  • This means that a pupil who is a household contact of a positive case can continue to attend school provided they test negative on an LFD test each day before school.
  • Testing should start from the day the positive household member had symptoms or, if they didn’t have symptoms, from when they tested positive. A photograph of the negative LFD result MUST be sent to Mrs Walker each morning using the mobile number: 07766510933 (Please add your child’s name to the message.) or private message on our Facebook page.
  • If your child tests positive on LFD or develops COVID symptoms they will need to isolate and take a PCR test.
If you are unable to test your child at home, please keep them away from school until the positive household member’s isolation period has ended.
Accessing LFD testing Kits
We would recommend you have a supply of LFD testing kits at home in the event you are requested to use them. You can order home testing kits to be delivered to your home here www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
If you pick up tests from a pharmacy, you may be asked for a ‘collect code’ this helps the NHS match your details to the tests. To get a ‘collect code’ please visit http://test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/collect…
Please register the result of your home test at www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result
Changes to the isolation period
The 10-day self-isolation period for people who record a positive PCR test result for COVID-19 has been reduced to 7 days in most circumstances. Individuals may now take LFD tests on day 6 and day 7 of their self-isolation period. Those who receive two negative test results are no longer required to complete 10 full days of self-isolation. The first test must be taken no earlier than day 6 of the self-isolation period and tests must be taken 24 hours apart. If both these test results are negative, and your child does not have a high temperature, they may end their self-isolation after the second negative test result and return to school from day 8. Anyone who is unable to take LFD tests will need to complete the full 10-day period of isolation.
If you have any questions regarding isolation and testing procedures, please contact Mrs Walker on the number above.
Kind Regards,
Mr Cornforth
