Second Coronavirus Case Confirmed At Christ The King College

A member of staff at Christ the King College has tested positive for coronavirus.

Two classes of students are now self-isolating at home. 

It is the second case to have been confirmed at the school since it reopened after lockdown.  As Isle of Wight Radio previously reported, a Year Nine student tested positive last week.

Letters have been sent to parents/guardians today regarding the latest case, according to the school.

A school statement reads: 

“For clarification we can confirm that the letter sent home to parents tonight was in relation to an additional positive covid case; from a member of our support staff.  To confirm the only classes affected by this and who have been contacted which regards to isolating are 10K/En2B & 10B/Hi1.

“Students not in these classes are unaffected and should attend school as normal.”

What to do if your child develops symptoms of COVID 19?

If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19, they must not come to school and should remain at home for at least 10 days from the date when their symptoms appeared.

Anyone with symptoms will be eligible for testing and this can be arranged via https://www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 119.

All other household members who remain well, must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days.

This includes anyone in your ‘Support Bubble’.
