Parents were notified on November 10, but they have been assured 'no further steps need to be taken' within the school.

Mrs Torrance said:

"I am contacting parents to inform you that a member of the school community has tested positive for COVID-19. I want to offer reassurance that the person concerned has followed guidance fully and engaged with the test and trace system. The whole family has been self-isolating since symptoms were first displayed last week and no contact has been made with other members of the school community since this time.

"Advice has been taken, the school’s risk assessments followed and at this point no further steps need to be taken within school at this stage. I will, of course, update you should any further action become necessary."

Isle of Wight Radio has asked the Isle of Wight Council for a comment.

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’.
