COVID-19 Update
As covid rules have relaxed and we strive to “get back to normal”, Covid-19 is still affecting day to day provision at HCPS. At the time of writing 8 members of staff are currently absent from school, with cases among pupils continuing to rise. Please remember…
If your child is unwell with COVID symptoms, please do not send them to school.
Latest government guidance states…
“Children and young people with COVID-19 should not attend their education setting while they are infectious. They should take an LFD test from 5 days after their symptoms started (or the day their test was taken if they did not have symptoms) followed by another one the next day. If both these tests results are negative, they should return to their educational setting if they normally attend one, as long as they feel well enough to do so and do not have a temperature.”
Although there is no longer a legal requirement for people with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection to self-isolate, if your children have any of the main symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test result, the public health advice is to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
We will continue to follow this guidance. So, if your child has symptoms and tests positive, isolation continues for up to 10 days, unless they have 2 consecutive negative tests.

SEVERE weather
So far, so good…but there is still the possibility that we may have a period of severe weather. If we have to close due to severe weather, please listen to local radio stations and consult this website, http://schoolclosures.suffolk.gov.uk, for updated information.
And finally…
Mrs Whitmore has expressed her intention to retire from her full time teaching post at the end of this academic year. I’m sure you will join us in wishing her a happy retirement as we come closer to the end of the summer term.
As you are aware, Mrs Broadbent will also be retiring. Mr Betts, currently Head of Performing Arts at Hadleigh High School has accepted the position of Music Teacher at HCPS and will be joining us in September as Mrs Broadbent’s successor. We look forward to welcoming him to our school.
