Good morning, we have some confirmed COVID cases in our school community. I just wanted to clarify the current rules as there is some confusion which is understandable as they seem to be constantly changing. If your child tests positive on LFT or PCR they must isolate for 5 days and take an LFT test on day 5, if that is negative and is followed by another negative test on day 6 then they can return to school on day 6. If they continue to test positive then they can return to school after 10 days.
These rules will change on 1st April.
