All parents/carers should have received school comms messages / letters this morning. If your Year 10 child was a close contact you will have already been informed in person by telephone. To clarify: this was **not a positive LFD test** (the tests we have been carrying out in school); this was a positive PCR test taken outside of school. Year 7-9 and Year 12-13 students are still zoned in a separate part of the building/bubble, so are unaffected.
