From Thursday 24 February, the Government removed the legal requirement to self-isolate following a positive Covid19 test. Adults and children who test positive will continue to be advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for at least 5 full days, and then continue to follow the guidance until they have received 2 negative test results on consecutive days.

To support children who are self isolating, we are using the National Oak Academy. This is a free to use national organisation providing an online classroom and resource hub across the UK. This can be accessed by clicking on the image aboove.
