We are averaging 4-5 per day currently. There is no particular year group that has been more or less affected and, while we cannot say for certain, it does appear that while there will be some community transmission within school, there are also plenty of examples of when this transmission has likely occurred outside school, across a range of settings.

Our attendance has crept back up to over 80% and rising (it did get down to under 75% at one stage) and we have most staff back at work now. We are hoping that we will not need to roster home year groups next week but will confirm this on Friday morning.

Once again  we would like to thank you for your support around our COVID response. We know it continues to be an anxious time for some of you and we are happy to discuss any specific concerns that you may have.
