The ​School’s Covid-19 Safety Measures have been updated in line with the Government’s latest guidance and advice as part of ‘the next steps with living with Covid-19’ issued from 1st April 2022.

Even though it is no longer a legal requirement, staff and pupils with a positive test are still advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they no longer have a high temperature and they are well to return.
​
The guidance advises the following:

• adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and they no longer have a high temperature
• children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can go back to school, college or childcare when they no longer have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend
• adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice will be 3 days
