It is really important that families let us know if a child has tested  positive by contacting the school office school@henrymaynard.waltham.sch.uk . The school email is checked daily  and a member of the school team will contact you for more details to ensure we are able to put procedures for tracing in place.

We will need to know the following information:

• when your child was last in school
• date of symptoms
• date of test
• close contacts for your child.

Please visit NHS for guidance on what to do if someone in your household has to self-isolate https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection

In the case of a positive COVID19 result in school or in a specific class - school will send an email to the class and a app message to let families know of self-isolation dates.

Those self-isolating must follow the guidance below:

• do not go to school or public places – your child will be required to stay at home and need to take part in Google Classroom activities
• do not go on public transport or use taxis
• your child should NOT go out to get food and medicine 
• do not have visitors in your home, including friends and family – except for people providing essential care
• do not go out to exercise – exercise at home or in your garden, if you have one.
