What to do if a child tests positive after school closure

You only need to inform the school if your child tests positive if their symptoms start on Friday 18th December or Saturday 19th December or before. Please use this email address office@st-marysfields.leicester.sch.uk  to tell us.

If their symptoms occur after this date, then they are past the 48 hours of being in contact with others in school and therefore the school does not need to take any further action. Public Health England will take over track and trace in this instance. School leaders will continue to monitor the office email until 23rd December and it is crucial that you inform the school if your child tests positive for Covid up to and including this date.

To summarise:-

• Last day of term is now Thursday 17th December for pupils
• School is closed to all pupils on Friday 18th December 2020 and reopens Tuesday 5th January 2021
• Book a test URGENTLY if your child develops symptoms on Friday 18th December or Saturday 19th December or before. You can do this at www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19
• Email office@st-marysfields.leicester.sch.uk if your child tests positive after developing symptoms
