Covid Arrangements
02 Mar 2022
Please see the guidance below regarding Covid 19.
This guidance came into effect on 24 February 2022 and will be updated on 1 April 2022.
Pupils, staff and other adults must follow guidance outlined by the Government on People with COVID-19 and their contacts if they have COVID-19 symptoms.
The main symptoms of COVID-19 are a recent onset of any of the following:
- a new continuous cough
- a high temperature
- a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)
If you have any of these symptoms you should order a PCR test. You are advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people while you are waiting for the test result.
Other symptoms linked with COVID-19 include shortness of breath, fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle ache, sore throat, headache, stuffy or runny nose, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. Any of these symptoms may also have another cause.
Many people will no longer be infectious to others after 5 days. You may choose to take an LFD test from 5 days after your symptoms started (or the day your test was taken if you did not have symptoms) followed by another LFD test the next day. If both these test results are negative, and you do not have a high temperature, the risk that you are still infectious is much lower and you can safely return to your normal routine.
Please note that if you test on the mornings then you can do the second 24 hours later and attend school the day of the 2nd negative test.
