Notifying School of Positive COVD-19 Test During Christmas Break
Date: 9th Dec 2020 @ 12:06pm
With the introduction of an INSET Day on 18th December, I would like to advise parents about the Track & Trace process from 18th December. Public Health England and schools have agreed a 6-day window after the final day of teaching in which schools are asked to remain contactable, so that they can assist with contact tracing where necessary. This will allow enough time for positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases to be identified and confirmed by a test and for the relevant contacts in the school to be traced.
As always, I remain available during the term for parents to notify me of any positive cases. In addition, from 18th to the 23rd December, I will also be available via email for notification of positive cases, where I will implement the Track and Trace process, in conjunction with Public Health England. For this purpose, you may contact me on my school email address: head@crowton.cheshire.sch.uk.
Please be aware of the relevant arrangements regarding positive cases in the 6-day window and beyond:
- For the first 6 days after 17th December, if a pupil or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, having developed symptoms within 48 hours of being in school, the school will assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation, as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.
- Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Parents and carers should follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace.
- School staff will no longer remain on-call or conduct any contact tracing more than 6 days after the final day of teaching. As our last teaching day is now Thursday 17th December, there will be no pupil contact tracing by school beyond Wednesday 23rd December.
- Where pupils are required to self-isolate due to contact with a positive case after the first 6 days following the end of term, schools do not need to be informed about their absence until the first day of the new term.
Thank you.

Crowton Christ Church 150 Years Celebration
Over the next 12 months, we will be taking an active part in celebrating our wonderful church as it celebrates 150 years in the heart of our village.
A range of events are currently being planned and prepared with the hope that funds will be raised for some modest improvements in the comfort and utility of the building for both the congregation and others, like the school. As well as redecoration, improvements will include new pew cushions, an upgraded sound system and a new textile collage which our schoolchildren will help create.

NHS Track and Trace Scams
There has been an increase in scam calls in relation to NHS Track and Trace where people are being asked to pay for a home testing kit etc.
NHS track and Trace Service will never ask you to pay for a test, ask for bank details, passwords or pin numbers. Never share personal details if you are not sure who you are talking to.

The BBC has created a "wellbeing" smartphone app called Own It aimed at children.
It monitors how young people interact with friends and family online and through messaging apps.
It uses AI to evaluate a child's mood so it can offer advice or encourage them to talk to trusted adults.
As we know, the digital world is a fantastic place for children to learn and share, but many struggle to find a healthy online balance, especially when they get their first phones.
The app acts as a "helping hand" to guide children into developing good habits when using their first phone and avoid some of the potential pitfalls of digital life. It is designed to offer help and support for children, especially if they are about to share sensitive data or send, or receive, an upsetting message.
Own It is built around a special software keyboard that pops up when kids type messages and monitors the tone of the words being typed and language used. The app also has its own content that aims to help children manage the amount of time they spend looking at their screen and passes on other advice about responsible online interaction.
We strongly encourage parents to download this app to their child's phone to help keep them safe on-line.
