When testing it is important to: 1. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 mins before doing the test to reduce spoiling the tests. 2. Read the test result after 30 minutes – set a timer to help you remember. You should not wait any longer than 30 minutes. Parents and carers need to log the results twice: Online with the government test and trace site at gov.uk/report-covid19-result You will also need to inform the school of the result by completing a short form, using this link Student test result reporting form . If a positive result is received, the student will need to self-isolate, take a PCR test and follow the advice of NHS Test and Trace. All household members are also advised to take a PCR test and follow the advice of NHS Test and Trace. You should also immediately inform the school by either phoning Reception or emailing admin@jmhs.hereford.sch.uk. If your child develops any Covid-19 related symptoms, your household must immediately self-isolate and book a PCR test, regardless of the LFT (home) test result. Additionally, we are continuing with the following Covid-19 precautions: Ensure all doors and windows are kept open at all times to maximise ventilation Ask all parents and carers to ensure that students with symptoms self-isolate and take a PCR test Ask students to sanitise their hands on entering or leaving a classroom Continuing with our no physical contact rule The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are: a high temperature– this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature) a new, continuous cough– this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual) a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste– this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal Links below to important guidance and requirements from JMHS: JMHS Covid 19 Risk Assessment August 2021 JMHS Student Guide to Home Learning 2020_21 Remote education provision: Information for parents JMHS Protocol for use of NHS Covid-19 – Test and Trace app About us Covid-19 latest information Open & Primary Transition Events Admissions Senior Leadership Team Governance Policies Pupil Premium and Catch Up funding Results and Ofsted SDP and SEF Accounts & Reports Job Vacancies Life at JMHS John Masefield Latest News Headteacher’s Newsletter 30 November 2021 Cricket Award for JMHS Pupil Lottery Win, Win Updated guidance on the wearing of face coverings 28 November 2021 Russell Group Information Events Staff training afternoon: Students depart 12:15pm 06 Dec, 12:15 pm - 3:45 pm, Y11 Parents' Evening 09 Dec, 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm, Last day of term: Students depart 12.15pm approx 17 Dec, All Day, Staff Training Day 04 Jan, All Day, JMHS Term starts for students 05 Jan, All Day, Home About us Contact us epraise Job Vacancies Curriculum Events Parents Information Sixth Form John Masefield High School and Sixth Form Centre Registered Office: Mabel's Furlong, Ledbury, Herefordshire, HR8 2HF Registered in England and Wales.
