The member of staff is currently isolating at home, along with the rest of their household, following public health guidance. The track and trace process is taking place.

Background
In cases above where “further action” is required, the schools contact parents and the class bubbles to ask that they isolate at home, as a precautionary measure, to allow the track and trace process to be completed.

In cases where “no action” is required it means that the student or staff member has not attended school for a number of days and as a result no further action will be taken by the Contact Tracing team. 

To protect the identity of the students and respect the family’s privacy, we will not be commenting further.
