Dear Parents/Carers

COVID Cases in Wenlock – Update

Further to my previous letter regarding COVID cases in Wenlock, due to a member of the class team testing positive for COVID, we have had to extend the class closure until Thursday 7 October. This is due to the member of staff having to self-isolate for 10 days and unfortunately we do not have the operational capacity amongst our staff team to keep the class open.

Pupils should have already had a PCR test, if not could you please arrange one as soon as possible.  Pupils should also take a Lateral Flow Test on Thursday 7 October and if this is negative, they can return to school on Friday 8 October.

If your child develops any of the following symptoms at any point during their isolation, please arrange another PCR test:

  • new continuous cough and/or
  • high temperature and/or
  • a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)
  • headaches
  • aches and pains
  • feeling very tired for no good reason
  • sore throat
  • runny nose
  • sneezing
  • tummy ache/upset tummy in children.

If your child’s PCR test comes back positive, please ring the School on 0121 561 6884.

We would be grateful if you could send a copy of all test results to headteacher@westminster.sandwell.sch.uk.

If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the School.

Yours faithfully

Head Teacher
