You may be aware that a number of children from Crispin School were sent home after returning from a trip to Italy. Some of these children may have siblings in other schools, so we are publishing the advice given to Crispin regarding attending school, which is also relevant to siblings.

The children did not visit any of the exclusion zones.

‘Following the recent school trip to Italy the advice we have received from Public Health England concerning the Coronavirus/Covid 19 is that those who do not show any symptoms can attend school as normal. Any staff or students who have been on the trip and are exhibiting symptoms should stay at home, self-isolate and call 111.
