COVID-19 advice – when to keep your child at home
As you are aware, we are fully open after a long break away from our usual teaching and learning.
We have received a large number of requests from parents wanting advice on whether their child should come in to the Academy. This notice is to remind parents and carers of key advice regarding COVID-19 symptoms.
If your child displays any of the symptoms listed below, please do not send them to the Academy. In line with Government guidance, if your child begins to display symptoms during the day we will contact you to collect them immediately, as previously advised. Please remind your child/ren to tell their teacher or any member of staff if they begin to feel unwell whilst in the Academy.
If you are in any doubt about whether or not your child should be in the Academy, please refer to the guidance issued by Suffolk County Council and/or call 111 for advice. In addition, the Department for Education have asked (23rd September 2020) that a letter, published by Public Health England, is shared with our parents/carers; a copy of THAT letter may be foundhere
Only get a test for your children if they have one or more of the following symptoms:
🔴 A high temperature. This means they feel hot to touch on their chest or back (you do not need to measure temperature).
🔴 A persistent cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours. If they usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual.
🔴 A change in, or loss of, their sense of taste and smell – This means they have noticed they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.
