Confirmed positive Covid19 case – Y7 XP East students to self isolate for 14 days

Dear Parents / carers of Y7 students at XP East,

We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the Y7 Year bubble.

We have followed the national guidance and have identified that your child has potentially been in close contact with the affected student as they are a member of the Y7 XP East year bubble. In line with the national guidance your child should now stay at home and self-isolate for 14 days.

We are asking you to do this to reduce the further spread of COVID 19 to others in the community. 

If your child is well and does not have any Covid-19 related symptoms at the end of the 14 day period of self-isolation they can return to usual activities on Tuesday 17th November.

Other members of your household can continue normal activities provided your child does not develop symptoms within the 14 day self-isolation period. 

We will now move to an online educational provision and details of this will be available on our school website shortly.

All other year groups at XP East will remain open.

After speaking with the family of the student in question today, I understand that they are doing well and we look forward to having everyone back where they belong on the 17th November.

Best wishes everyone.

Jamie Portman
