Contact tracing to identify close contacts in the school and in the community will be carried out by the Public Health Agency. They will ring from the number 028 9536 8888. Please save this number on your phone so you will recognise it if they need to ring you, and please answer if they call.
Notify the School of Pupil Absence via IRIS Parentmail
Parents are asked to inform the school via IRIS Parentmail, if their son/daughter receives a positive lateral flow test for COVID-19 and are self-isolating or if their son/daughter has been identified as a close contact. The relevant staff will then be notified and the absence recorded as per DE guidelines.
