Please remember that if you need to report a positive case, between Saturday 19th and Thursday 24th December you must contact school via our enquiries@athelstan.sheffield.sch.uk email address. You should leave your child’s full name and class, the date they became symptomatic and the date they took the test. Despite it being the holidays, this email address will be checked daily at 10am from Saturday 19th of December to Thursday 24th December.
If your child is identified as a contact of a positive case during this six-day period, you will be advised by text and email of the isolation period and may mean that your Christmas plans are affected as your child would need to self-isolate. Please note, you will not be contacted by phone.
Our aim, once we have checked the enquiries@ email address at 10am each morning, is to send the email and text by 11am on the same day.
After this period, from 10am on Christmas Eve, school should not be contacted; parents and carers should instead follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS test and trace. This will remain in place until we return to school on Monday 4th January.
