Start of the new half term

How to report a positive case:

Close contacts will now be identified via NHS Test and Trace and education settings will no longer be expected to undertake contact tracing.

As with positive cases in any other setting, NHS Test and Trace will work with the positive case to identify close contacts. Contacts from a school setting will only be traced by NHS Test and Trace where the positive case specifically identifies the individual as being a close contact. This is likely to be a small number of individuals who would be most at risk of contracting COVID-19 due to the nature of the close contact. Schools may be contacted in exceptional cases to help with identifying close contacts, as currently happens in managing other infectious diseases.

From 16 August 2021, children under the age of 18 years old will no longer be required to self-isolate if they are contacted by NHS Test and Trace as a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case. Instead, children will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace, informed they have been in close contact with a positive case and advised to take a PCR test. We would encourage all individuals to take a PCR test if advised to do so.

Schools will continue to have a role in working with health protection teams in the case of a local outbreak. If there is an outbreak in a school or if central government offers the area an enhanced response package, a director of public health might advise a setting to temporarily reintroduce some control measures.

Assuming your child is eligible to attend, your child needs a place and you have completed both the first (see 3.1.21 letter) and second form (see 7.1.21 letter), you do not need to await confirmation before sending your child to school on the days you indicate on the second form.
