Sunday Evening COVID-19 Update
18th July 2021

Dear Families,

I hope that you are enjoying the excellent weather. As promised, here is the next regular update with regards to confirmed cases at Tytherington School. Over the weekend, I have been informed of two positive cases (a member of staff and a Year 8 student).

Whole bubbles are no longer being routinely asked to stay at home but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health and the Local Authority. Under procedures for Step 4 of the Government roadmap, schools are no longer involved in the contact tracing process. Your child may be contacted by NHS Track and Trace if they are identified as a close contact with instructions to isolate.

Unless you have been specifically asked to self-isolate, all students should continue to attend the school as normal and can carry out all other activities in line with national guidance and following all safety measures which have been put in place.

All adults and children aged 11 plus are advised to take part in twice weekly LFT home testing, and we would strongly advise that this continues. Any positive results should be reported to the NHS.

What to do if you develop symptoms of COVID 19

If you or your child develops symptom of COVID-19, they should remain at home for at least 10 days from the date when their symptoms appeared as advised in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance

Anyone with symptoms can request a test via https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested.
