It has been confirmed that a small number of students are currently self-isolating after a positive case of COVID-19 was confirmed at Hereford Academy.
A letter sent to parents said:
Covid-19: Advice to All Parents – Single case
We have been made aware of a member of our school community has tested positive for COVID 19.
We know that you may find this concerning but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health England. This letter is to inform you of the current situation and provide advice on how to support your child. Please be reassured that for most people, Coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.
The small number of children who have been in close contact with the individual, who has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), have received a letter informing them that their child must stay at home for 14 days.
The school remains open and your child should continue to attend as normal if they remain well.
