If someone in your house or support bubble is being tested, you must keep your child off school until you have the results and you must notify school immediately. Please email Mrs. Norton straight away on head@crossgates.rochdale.sch.uk
Emails are checked every day, even Saturday and Sunday. This will help to support the hard work we are doing in school to prevent bubble closures. Important information for school is when symptoms started. Thank you.
