Should I keep my child away from school?
If you have any questions do contact the school office. T: 020 3019 6363 or E: [email protected]
Covid – Your child should isolate (and not attend school) if they display any covid symptoms until a test has confirmed negative or positive. Children under the age of 18 do not need to be isolated if a household adult tests positive but we recommend taking a regular LFT. Please ensure the school is kept informed as the information is submitted to the Department for Education daily. Families are asked to follow NHS Track and Trace guidance at all times.
