Further to the announcement over the weekend in relation to a member of staff at St Ninian’s High School testing positive for COVID-19, a student attending the school has also tested positive today.
Following advice from Public Health, St Ninian’s High School will continue to be open to students, however interaction with other schools has been suspended for one week and then this will be reviewed.
Existing mitigations are in place at St Ninian’s High School including increased access to lateral flow tests, reminder of hand, face, space and fresh air messaging, reducing indoor activities and increased ventilation of rooms. If students or staff wish to wear a face covering this will be supported, masks will be provided by the school for those who wish to wear one but don’t have their own.
The headteacher will be contacting all parents/carers to inform them of the situation. If any parents/carers are concerned that they or their child have symptoms of COVID-19 they should remain at home and call 111 for advice.
The situation will be reviewed on a regular basis with advice from the Public Health Directorate and regular updates will be given to all pupils and parents/carers.
I have written to all parents again this morning (Tuesday 29th June) and will keep all informed as and when I have any more information to share. Mr. Coole
