Dear all,

In light of the current government advice the following will be in place with immediate effect:

– If one person in any household has a persistent cough or fever, everyone living there must stay at home for 14 days.

– If you or a family member were already self isolating, you now need to extend this to 14 days.

– If your child has any of the specific conditions set out here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults you need to make a decision as to whether to send your child to school. Please get in touch if you want to discuss anything.

If your child is not going to be in school as a result of this advice please email this new mailbox: absence@colebourne.bham.sch.uk You do not need to phone the office. We will call you back if we need further information.

Please give as many details as possible as to why they will not be in e.g. name, class, details of reason for absence.

I will continue to make daily reviews of our approaches and aim to keep you all informed.

Take care everyone.

Mr. Guest.
