The message reads:
“Your child is safe at school today but it is important we inform you that there has been a confirmed case of Covid-19 in the Year 8 social bubble and having sought advice from the DfE, the local council and the Trust, all Year 8 students within this social bubble will now transition to remote learning from home until Tuesday 17th November as a precaution, to limit any transmission of the virus.
“There is no impact on students in other year groups and they should continue to attend school as usual.”
