LFT testing – All visitors to our school are asked to carry out an LFT/LFD test prior to their appointment.

Face Coverings – Following the recent Government update on 28 November 2021, staff, visitors and contractors in education settings must wear face coverings in communal areas of the school unless they are exempt (proof must be provided).

Omicron Variant and Isolation Rules – from 16th August 2021 people are exempt from close contact isolation if they: a) are under the age of 18 years and 6 months, or b) are fully vaccinated (over 2 weeks ago), or c) have taken part in or are currently part of an approved COVID-19 vaccine trial, or d) are not able to get vaccinated for medical reasons. The exception to this is if persons are close contacts of suspected or confirmed Omicron variant cases. Individuals will be contacted directly and required to self-isolate immediately and asked to book a PCR test. They will be informed by the local health protection team or NHS Test and Trace if they fall into this category and provided details about self-isolation. Further actions for educational settings may be advised by a local Incident Management Team (IMT) investigating a suspected or confirmed case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Travelling from Abroad – the guidance for persons travelling from abroad is updated regularly. Staff and pupils returning from abroad should follow the government guidance. This can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-abroad-from-england-during-coronavirus-covid-19
