Covid Catch – Up Pupil Premium Grant 2020-21

Barton Clough Primary School have a grant allocation of £14,080. Please see the below link to view the plan of how funds will be allocated

Please See Below for Updated Covid-19 Information

From Thursday 24^th February 2022, the Government removed the legal requirement to self-isolate upon receiving a positive COVID-19 test result.

Please see the document ‘Schools COVID-19 Operational Guidance’, paying particular attention to page 10 which states:

‘In most cases, parents and carers will agree that a pupil with the key symptoms of COVID-19 should not attend the school, given the potential risk to others. If a parent or carer insists on a pupil attending your school where they have a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19, schools can take the decision to refuse the pupil if, in your reasonable judgement, it is necessary to protect other pupils and staff from possible infection with COVID-19.’

We would ask that parents and carers continue to follow current guidance.

If your child is displaying any of the three main Covid-19 symptoms (detailed below), please do not send your child to school.

You will be required to book your child a PCR Covid-19 test and cannot return to school until they have received a negative test result or have had 2 consecutive negative LFT tests 24hrs apart from day 5.

Please inform the School Office of any symptoms and subsequent test results.

The main symptoms of coronavirus are:

• high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms. Information about Covid-19 symptoms, management of the virus and booking a PCR test can be found here, www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
