What to do in Isolation?
We understand that some of you may be isolating at some point during this term. We appreciate you doing this and want to support you as much as we can. Therefore we have put together information which we hope will help with what to do during this period.
For some of you, isolation may only last a few days because it relies on testing information. However you may also need to isolate for a lengthy period of time.
Informing us of your child's absence
For some of you, isolation may only last a few days because it relies on testing information. However there are a few times when you may need to isolate for a lengthy period of time.
Awaiting test results?
If your child is absent whilst waiting for test results, you will need to contact the school via the absence line each morning. You will also need to inform the school of the test results.
Isolating after being in contact with someone who has tested positive or you have been instructed to isolate by Track and Trace?
You will need to inform the school on the first day of absence and let us know when the isolation period will end and when your child will return to school. You will NOT need to contact the school everyday.
If you have been contacted by us and we have asked that you isolate?
You do not need to do anything, if you have received a letter from us, we will have this on record and you do not need to let us know that your child will be absent.
If you have received a positive test?
You will need to inform us as soon as possible - we will follow the guidance from the Department of Education and inform all the necessary students/staff on what they need to do.

Mental Health Resources
We are all adapting to a new way of life due to Covid-19, and this is a very challenging and emotional time for families. As parents and carers, and those ensuring the welfare of children, it is important that we help children find positive ways to express their feelings. School staff are available to contact but please find below a booklet with lots of other resources available.
