I am writing to inform you that, on Monday 17^th January 2022, I tested positive for Coronavirus and I am consequently self-isolating in line with public health guidance.

As Principal, I have chosen to waive my right to anonymity and make staff, learners, parents/carers aware of this and the reason for my current absence from school.

In my absence Ms N Lord, Vice Principal will be deputising for me, supported by our highly effective Senior Leadership Team. I will continue to be available from home and support remotely during my self-isolation period.

I look forward to returning to the academy as soon as my isolation period ends and would strongly encourage you to ensure that your child is undertaking twice-weekly lateral flow testing to ensure that any asymptomatic cases of Coronavirus are detected.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours faithfully,

Mr S Dhami

Principal
