Coronavirus - maintaining your families health and wellbeing
What to do if I have symptoms? If someone in school has any of the symptoms- a new cough, a high temperature, loss of taste or smell they will be sent home and asked to get tested. The family need to isolate for 14 days. If the test result comes back positive everyone in that bubble will also be sent home to isolate

How to book a test
Some people can get priority tests on GOV.UK. Go to GOV.UK if you:
- are an essential worker, including NHS or social care staff
- are asking for tests for the residents and staff of your care home
- have a verification code from your employer​
Looking after you and your family's mental health and well-being will be paramount in the coming weeks or maybe months.
