• Covid-19 testing

  Thu 15 Oct 2020

  South Staffordshire has seen a surge in coronavirus cases over the past few weeks, and we all need to do everything we can to stop it in its tracks. One of the ways we can do this is by finding out how much the virus is circulating in the local community.  We do this by testing people who aren’t currently showing any symptoms of Covid-19.

   

  We’re calling on you to help us with this work, by getting tested if you don’t currently have any symptoms. Testing is quick and free, and is taking place in your area on Saturday 17 October at:
  Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centre, 10am till 2pm
  Scout Hut, Walsall Road, Great Wyrley, 10am till 2pm

   

  200 appointments for each location are available, but must be booked in advance here: https://staffordshire.zipporah.co.uk/TrackAndTrace/

   

  If you have symptoms of Covid-19, please do not attend this testing. You need to book through the national portal at www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.

• Confirmed Covid-19 case within school

  Thu 01 Oct 2020

  Dear parents, 

   

  Unfortunately, we have had a confirmed case of COVID-19 in school. Year 1 pupils have been identified as having been in close contact with the individual. As a result, children in Year 1 will need to self-isolate for 14 days from their last contact with the individual. This will mean that they can return to school on 13th October. Other members of the household will not need to self-isolate and siblings not in Year 1 can still come to school.

   

  More information can be found by viewing the two letters on the website. One of the letters is a general letter to all parents to inform you that we have had a case in school. The other letter is a letter to parent's of children in Year 1 informing them of the need for their child in Year 1 to self-isolate.

  I am sorry for the inconvenience this will cause. Work will continue to be set for the children and can be found by navigating to the child's class page on the website or clicking the following link.
