COVID
Many schools across Wiltshire are currently seeing a rise in Covid cases. Please continue to take your child for a PCR test if they are experiencing any of the three main symptoms (cough, temperature or loss of taste/smell).
Current guidance states that if you have COVID-19 you should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. You should also follow this advice if you have a positive LFD test result, even if you do not have any symptoms.
Should your child catch Covid-19, further guidance is available from https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts
