Updated - Y5 Covid-19 Information
Latest Covid-19 Information
St. Peter's will continue to follow Government advice, which says parents are responsible for preventing new Covid-19 waves within schools. In order to achieve this, we ask that parents regularly test their child/children for Covid-19 (lateral flow) and that if any child/children show any symptoms of Covid-19, that they are kept off school until they receive a negative Covid-19 result. If any child tests positive on a lateral flow test, they are to have a PCR test and are to be kept off school until they receive their reseult. If the result is negative, they may return to school. If the result is positive, the child/ren must self isolate as advised through NHS Test and Trace. Members of the household then must also receive a PCR test. If children show symptoms of Covid-19, or have tested positive on a lateral flow test, they are to inform school immediately, either via the school office, or via the email address; contact@stpeterswoolston.co.uk
If a child tests positive and is required to self-isolate, remote learning will be provided by their class teacher daily and, where possible, live Zoom lessons will be held.
All staff are double vaccinated and complete lateral flow tests twice a week. Our aim as a school community is to have the maximum number of children and staff in school.
