What parents and carers need to know about early years providers, schools and colleges in the autumn term

Please find attached at the bottom of this page a  Parent Information Booklet (updated 4 Nov 2020) produced by our COVID19 group of school governors and senior staff.  We have tried to make this as clear as possible and it is vitally important that you read and understand the contents. We would also like you to share this with your child(ren) Over the coming months we will all need to work together  and we ask you to follow this guidance rigorously in order to protect our school family and our wider community.

Coronavirus Symptoms in Children

Children can get coronavirus (COVID-19), but they seem to get it less often than adults and it's usually less serious.Symptoms of coronavirus in children

The main symptoms of coronavirus are:

  1. a high temperature
  2. a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot, for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
  3. a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – this means they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

What to do if your child has symptoms

If your child has any of the main symptoms of coronavirus:

  • Get a test to check if they have coronavirus as soon as possible.
  • Stay at home and do not have visitors until you get the test result – only leave your home to have a test.
  • Anyone you live with, and anyone in your support bubble, must also stay at home until you get the result.
