IMPORTANT COVID INFO: Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Please follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace. So, if your child is symptomatic from Sunday 4th April and then tests positive, you DO NOT need to notify the school until we return for the Summer term.
For the first 6 days after teaching ends, if a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus, having developed symptoms within 48 hours of being in school, the school must assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation. So, if your child is symptomatic on Friday 2nd April or Saturday 3rd April, and you get them tested, and they have a positive result, you MUST notify the school by emailing louisewillard@elmgrove.brighton-hove.sch.uk
The phone lines will not be manned during the holidays, so any contact you need to make with me regarding the above, must be done via email. Louise Willard will check her emails twice daily and be in touch with families as needed.
If your child tests positive after 7th April, you can update us when we return to school.

Desert Oasis Playground Plans
We are currently planning for renovations of the top playground at Elm Grove. The concept is ‘Desert Oasis’. The design is an interpretation of a desert landscape with elements of rock, and water, with a nod to treasure islands, riverbed oasis, obstacle course etc.
This project will mainly be funded by the PTA.
At Elm Grove our main line of communication to parents and carers is SchoolPing. To request your SchoolPing log-in details email us at admin@elmgrove.brighton-hove.sch.uk (remember to include your child’s name and class!).
