Work for self-isolation or school closure
Children and young people aged 18 years and under who have a positive test result
It is not recommended that children and young people are tested for COVID-19 unless directed to by a health professional.
If a child or young person has a positive COVID-19 test result they should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test, if they can. After 3 days, if they feel well and do not have a high temperature, the risk of passing the infection on to others is much lower. This is because children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults.
Children and young people who usually go to school, college or childcare and who live with someone who has a positive COVID-19 test result should continue to attend as normal.

Why Seesaw?
We want to ensure our remote education is high quality and aligns with the in-school provision.
Year 6 pupils, families and teachers found it highly effective during lockdown in March 2020.
Teachers are able to easily set remote, high quality education.
It give pupils the opportunity to get feedback on their work from adults at school.
It allows children to access a broad and ambitious curriculum.
Pupils can complete work online and work does not need to be printed out.
It is easy to use and can be accessed on any internet enabled device.
We plan to ensure pupils educated at home have the support they need to master the curriculum and make good progress.
What will the work look like on Seesaw?
One of the benefits of Seesaw is that teachers can set a variety of tasks and are able to show videos, talk over texts and set online worksheets to complete.
The work will be integrated to be the same as work that is completed in school and matches the schools curriculum planning.
What if we don’t have internet access or a suitable device?
Please speak to your child’s class teacher or member of the office staff.
What else will Seesaw be used for?
Each year group will utilise Seesaw slightly differently and this will be communicated by your child’s teacher.
Seesaw can be used to document a pupils school work virtually, however we will be using it predominantly for home learning and homework.
How will children learn how to use Seesaw?
We will show children in school how to use Seesaw and also send more information home as appropriate.
For more information please visit the Seesaw website.
How to I find out my child's class code?
Contact your child's class teacher or the school office.
