Covid update – what to do in the holidays

Track and Trace

You may be aware that school staff have been asked to continue to Track and Trace positive cases during the first part of the Christmas break.

Main School

If your son/daughter attends CRGS Main School and tests positive at any point up to and including 23rd December 2020 please email mainschool@crgs.org.uk. A senior member of staff will then contact you and conduct a tracing exercise. We will then write to any affected parent/carers using the Insight system.

From 24th December 2020 onwards the tracing will move to NHS Track and Trace as your child will not have been in contact with people in school during their infectious period. Therefore please do not contact the school at this point.

Sixth Form

As Year 12 and 13 have not been on site since Friday 11th December, we only need to be informed if they first developed symptoms during the weekend 12th and 13th December, as Public Health England determines that the infectious period is 48 hours prior to the onset of symptoms. Therefore, if your son / daughter tests positive over the holidays, there is no need to contact the Sixth Form unless their self-isolation will impact on their return to learning on the 4th January. Please email sixthformattendance@crgs.org.uk to let us know that this is the case. 

For all students

It is important that if your son / daughter develops Covid-19 symptoms towards the end of the holiday that they are tested and remain at home until they are feeling better and are in receipt of a negative test result. We would also like to remind you that students must remain at home if a household member is awaiting a test result, until this is known to be negative.  Please let us know straight away if emergency contacts for your child change. It is even more crucial than usual that we have up-to-date contact information for you at the moment.

For further information relating to Covid-19, please see the nhs website for advice and support.
