COVID

Over the weekend the government announced increased measures to deal with a new variant of COVID, Omicron. Currently these measures extend to:

• the tightening of PCR testing for all arrivals to the UK and self-isolation until a negative result is seen,
• 10 day isolation for all close contacts of individuals identified as having the Omicron variant, and
• an expansion of the booster programme.

Schools are being asked to increase measures to prevent the spread of COVID. In our setting this means:

• students, staff and visitors to wear face coverings in communal areas and when moving around inside the building (we will provide masks to those that need them),
• the continuation of twice weekly lateral flow testing (available from us), and
• a reminder of the importance of basic hygiene, specifically around hand washing.

We will continue to keep these measures under review.
