Dear Parents/Carers
COVID Cases in Haden
We have been made aware that there have been positive cases of COVID confirmed within Haden. Your child has been identified as a close contact through our contract tracing measures.
Unfortunately, this means we are having to immediately close Haden class, initially for 48 hours.
Public Health have advised us that all pupils in Haden should self-isolate at home and parents arrange for a PCR test to be done. You can arrange a PCR test via this link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing/get-tested-for-coronavirus/. When the online form asks for the reason for taking a test, please choose the option “I’ve been told to get a test by my local council, health protection team or healthcare professional”.
Pupils can return to school on Monday 4 October once you have sent evidence of a negative test via email to headteacher@westminster.sandwell.sch.uk.
If your child is unable to tolerate a PCR test, they will need to isolate at home until Wednesday 6 October. They can return to school on Thursday 7 October 2021.
If your child’s PCR test comes back positive, please ring the School on 0121 561 6884.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the School.
Yours faithfully
O M Flowers
Head Teacher
