28 students self-isolating at resort academy
PRINCIPAL REASSURES PARENTS
TWENTY-EIGHT students have been asked to self-isolate at Cleethorpes Academy after a Year 9 student tested positive for Covid-19.
The move is a precautionary measure and students will continue learning from home remotely for 10 days. Janice Hornby, Cleethorpes Academy principal, said: “We want to reassure parents that we have followed advice from Public Health England and the DfE in responding to this matter immediately.
“My senior and pastoral leaders work quickly to identify all close contacts and telephone every family to explain the requirement to self-isolate. Students are isolated in school until we contact the family.
“All students who are required to isolate will return to remote learning until we can welcome them back into school. “We have continued to follow national public health guidance around preventing the spread of coronavirus in school. Social distancing, frequent hand washing, wearing of face coverings and regular cleaning is being rigorously practised right across the academy, and we have robust risk assessment processes in place.
“I urge all staff and students to remain vigilant at all times and to continue to follow the guidelines to ensure that we can keep each other as safe as possible. We wish our student a very speedy recovery.”
Last month, 109 students were asked to self-isolate at Cleethorpes Academy after two Year 10 students tested positive for Covid-19.
