Despite following all health and safety protocols that have been fully endorsed by The Local Heath Protection Team and Public Health England we feel we must act further to keep our children, our community and our staff safe.

In order to better inform our future decision making we ask for your support in the following:

• On Friday or Saturday please take any children currently eligible to be in school (not currently selfisolating) for a Rapid Lateral Flow Covid test at one of the Corby Testing Centres. An appointment can be booked at: https://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/coronavirus-updates/Pages/coronavirustesting-in-northamptonshire.aspx

Please note these centres may not be open on Sundays

• Please report your results to jane.macdonald@grettonprimary.org whether negative or positive by 2pm Sunday 14th March

By following the above requests and of course following Covid-19 guidelines at all times you will be supporting our school and wider community enormously.

We hope that conditions will allow a partial reopening on Tuesday 16th March but we will give more class specific details on Monday.

We thank all parents and the wider community for the kind messages of support and understanding that we have had at what has been an incredibly difficult time.

Kind regards,

Jane Macdonald (Principal)

Tim Eaton (Chair of Governors)
