Covid 19 Advice and Information

Bubble Updates

We will update our bubble information at the end of the school day Monday-Friday. Please be aware, as per government and county guidance, we only report on children or staff who are awaiting a Covid-19 test and/or have received a positive result.

There may be times children are isolating due to a parent, sibling, family member or close contact showing symptoms and/or have received a positive test. Our bubble status will not reflect this. The status of the bubble will change if the child isolating begins to show symptoms and you will be notified accordingly in the case of a positive result.
