  Covid updates

   

  As you are aware, there is an increase in Covid cases in the Wakefield district. Current cases (as of Friday 25th June) are 118 per 100,000 and are rising. 

   

  We are doing everything we can within school to keep our children, staff and local community as safe as possible to try and avoid any further bubble closures. 

   

  We now know that the symptoms of the Delta variant appear to differ from previous Covid variants. The new symptoms are:

  - headache

  - sore throat

  - runny nose

   

  Unfortunately the symptoms can be similar to those of hay fever which makes identifying possible cases a challenge.

  Please can we ask that you support us in preventing the spread of this variant within school. If your child is feeling unwell with any of the above symptoms, or the usual symptoms (persistent cough, high temperature or loss of smell /taste)  please can you take them for a PCR test. 

   

  Thank you for your continued support in what continues to be a challenging year.

  Following the announcement last night by Boris Johnson that we will remain in stage 3 until July 19^th, we unfortunately have been asked to modify our end of year plans once again.

   

  We were really looking forward to our ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ but we also need to keep our children, staff and families safe from coronavirus, in particular this infectious new Delta variant. The good news is that we will still be enjoying sports days, SP FEST and our Y6 leavers in school but as it stands for now, parents will unfortunately not be invited. We will continue to look at the plans for our Y6 leavers as this falls after the ‘Freedom day’.

   

  We are hoping to invite a professional videographer in to school to film our SP FEST event – so that you can watch this at home together with your family.

   

  Can we please remind you to wear facemasks on school grounds. Please can you continue to work with us to stop the spread of this infection. Some local schools are already closing bubbles and we want to avoid this as much as we possibly can. This new variant is very transmissible and can potentially spread more easily amongst the school community. 

   

  Thank you for your continued support.
