Reiteration of message sent earlier today

Dear parents 

 

This morning, my staff and I have been managing concerns raised by parents that, following a series of shared Facebook posts and comments around Covid 19, a child was said to have tested positive for Covid 19. 

 

I can categorically share with you that this is not the case and I have had this confirmed directly – with the persons involved – not through social media posts, shares or comments.   

 

THERE ARE NO REPORTED POSITIVE CASES OF PUPILS WITH COVID 19 AT ASHGATE AT THIS TIME – CONFIRMED 

  

 

There is a system, please follow it 

 

There is a very clear system in place for notifying schools and parents in the event of positive Covid 19 cases.  This system involves: 

 

  • NHS track and Trace 
  • Public Health England referral 
  • Direct communications with parents 

 

Note: Facebook and speculation are not included in this system.

 

If there were to be cases confirmed or shared, this would be managed by Public Health England and I would let you know once actions had been agreed. 

 

 

Please be mindful of the process.
