If your child is unwell they need to stay at home and you need to phone us to let us know the reason for your child's absence. 

Anyone with coronavirus symptoms can get a test. If your child is showing the following symptoms they must stay at home and you need to book for them to have a test.

Coronavirus symptoms are:

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

If you are getting a test because you have symptoms, you and anyone you live with must stay at home until you get your result.

You can book a test online at GOV.UK or call 119 to get a test if you have problems using the internet. 

You can get a test for someone you live with if they have these symptoms. Do not get tests for people you live with who do not have these symptoms.

If your child becomes unwell at school we will ask you to collect them and book a test if they show these symptoms. When you collect your child you must wait outside our main office and we will bring your child to you.

Please email us at office@wallsendstpeters.org.uk to let us know the result of the test. If it is positive they must isolate at home for 10 days and the rest of the household must self-isolate for 14 days. If the result is negative they can stay at home until they feel well.
