If a person tests positive for coronavirus, whether by LFD or PCR test, they are advised to stay at home for up to 10 days and avoid contact with other people, especially those in at-risk groups. Refer to guidance for people with COVID and their contacts. COVID-19: people with COVID-19 and their contacts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) Individuals may choose to take an LFD test from 5 days after symptoms started (or the day test was taken if no symptoms) followed by another LFD test the next day. If two consecutive test results are negative, and the person does not have a high temperature, they can safely return to work/school after the second negative test. NHS Test and Trace is being stood down from 24 Feb 2022. Close contacts will no longer be identified and contacted. However, people who live with someone with coronavirus, or who know they have been in close contact with someone who has confirmed coronavirus, are still advised to take precautions to reduce risk of infecting others.

This week (14th-18th June) is My Money Week, supported by Young Enterprise and Santander. It is an opportunity for children to learn more about financial matters and prepare them for later life.
To celebrate this week, we are asking children to take part in some of the suggested home activities, offering parents an opportunity to help their child understand some ways they use money to pay for things their family needs. It also provides a chance to discuss how changing the way we do things can help us save money for our future needs and wants.
If you would like to take part in any of the activities, you can find the list of suggestions here - please send photos of your achievements to your class email so that the learning can be shared with the whole class.
We would like all photos to be emailed by Friday 9th July and we will then be able to share some throughout school.

Information for contact with school about COVID-19 test results during the Christmas period
For the six days that follow the final teaching day, (19th December-24th December) staff will check emails for notifications of any children or staff members who have a positive result to a Covid-19 test. This will then allow us to trace and notify any members of the school community who need to self-isolate. As the new term starts on the 4th January, the office email will also be checked again, on the 2nd and 3rd of January, to establish if children / staff members are now positive or self-isolating.
On the days stated above the school email office@st-lukes.notts.sch.uk will be checked between 9.00am and 10.00am. Only messages regarding COVID-19 test results should be sent to the office over the Christmas break in order to allow staff to only deal with work related to contact tracing during their Christmas break. Parents / carers will be notified by ParentMail if children have been in close contact with somebody who has tested positive and need to self-isolate.
