As you are aware the school has seen a significant rise in the number of positive cases of Covid-19 since the start of the month.

In order to understand this rise, and to identify any further cases Northumberland County Council and Public Health England’s North East Health Protection Team have recommended extra precautionary testing for some students in the school. Those who need to be tested have been contacted directly. 

There is no need for concern, and your child will not need to get tested unless they themselves are showing symptoms or have been identified as a close contact of a confirmed positive case.
