Christmas Corona virus guidance
At the time of writing we have been extremely fortunate that we have avoided any confirmed cases of Covid 19 in school.
As we break up for the Christmas holidays it is very important that you inform us if your child has a confirmed test result. Please email this information to office@bishop.norfolk.sch.uk
Please make it clear in the email when your child started to show symptoms. If your child shows symptoms before the evening of Sunday 20th December other children and staff will need to be informed to self isolate for ten days until Monday 28th December.
During the school holiday please can we ask that you follow all the national guidance, we have included some helpful bullet points and web addresses below. It is by everyone taking individual responsibility to follow this guidance, that we can together manage a safe and secure return to education in the new year.
