Confirmed-COVID-Case

 

Wednesday 25th November, 2020

 

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

 

 

Confirmed case of COVID-19 within school

 

We have been advised this morning that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the school.

 

We know that you will find this concerning but would like to assure you that we contacted Public Health England and the DfE immediately, have followed their instructions and will continue to follow their advice and guidance.

 

The affected case has been absent from school since 21^st November. NO adult or child has been identified as a close contact and therefore no one needs to make any changes to their usual routine. School remains open and your child should continue to attend if they remain well.

 

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are recent onset of:

• a new continuous cough and/or
• a high temperature and/ or
• a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia).

 

If your child, or anyone in your household, develops these symptoms, you whole household must remain at home and not go to work, school or public areas. You should arrange testing for the person who has developed symptoms. When the result is known further advice will be available.

 

Testing can be arranged by calling 119 or via the NHS website: nhs.uk/coronavirus.

There are things we can all do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19:

• wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
• use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
• wash your hands as soon as you get home
• cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
• put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

 

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Donna Lee

Head Teacher

Well done to all of this weeks little super stars! We are all so proud of your fantastic work in school this week.

Keep it up guys!

 

The Rights Respecting Champions of Nettlesworth Primary School did us all proud today when they hosted their very own Virtual Assembly to raise the awareness of World Children’s Day.

The each spoke to the rest of the school via TEAMs, addressing the global issues of Climate Change.

Well done to our champions, and to the rest of our school on a fabulous effort around this topical issue.

 

A massive thank you and well done to all of our children and families! You have helped us raise money for Child In Need, our current total is £68.

We had lots of fun dressing up in rainbow colours and joining in with Joe Wickes’ last 15 minutes of his 24 hour exercise marathon. The children were super stars, as always!

Sarah even made us Pudsey Bear biscuits for lunch.

On the afternoon a special little visitor came along to give a little smile from the doors of each classroom – Baby Bobby Bear! 🐻

Once again, thank you!
