Following the outbreak of Covid-19 we are working closely with the school to provide advice and information to students, in line with the guidance issued by the Government and Public Health England.

Stay at home

Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (where this absolutely cannot be done from home)

Looking after your own health
What to do if you have symptoms
Stay at home for seven days if you have either:
-
a high temperature
-
a new, continuous cough.
This will help to protect others in your community while you are infectious.
Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
You do not need to contact NHS 111 to tell them you’re staying at home.
Those self-isolating with mild symptoms will not be tested.
View the UK Government COVID-19: stay at home guidance.
Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:
-
you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
-
your condition gets worse
-
your symptoms do not get better after seven days.
Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.
