Churchtown Primary School in Southport has closed with immediate effect after 10% of staff tested positive for Covid-19.
The school will have a 10-day circuit breaker, reopening on Tuesday 2 February.
The decision has been taken following advice from Infection Control, Public Health England and the Department for Education.
A Churchtown Primary School spokesperson said: “On Monday, we began the process of daily lateral flow tests (LFTs) in our school to test staff who may be asymptomatic, but Covid-19 positive.
“This process is running really smoothly in our school and we have been able to test staff on a daily basis to improve on our already enhanced safety measures in school.
“The Lateral Flow Testing for staff has been a successful step to identify asymptomatic cases and the commencement of immediate self-isolation.
“In the first week of lateral flow testing, 10% of the staff population have tested positive for Covid-19. This has then been confirmed by a further test at one of the government testing centres.
“As we are currently unable to test the children we can only assume that this percentage may be the case for them as well.
“Therefore, to stop the potential spread of the virus we have made the difficult decision to close the school to all children and staff.
“The school will close with immediate effect for 10 days. This will be classed as a circuit breaker and school will reopen on Tuesday 2nd February. We have taken advice from Infection Control, Public Health England and the Department for Education, as well as thorough scrutiny of our Risk Assessment, which has led to this important and informed decision.
“Remote learning will continue for all children.”
The nearest community Covid-19 testing centre is Splash World, Southport, PR8 1HX. If your child has covid- 19 symptoms please book a test through NHS track and trace, by phoning 119 or using the NHS Covid-19 app.
Any Churchtown Primary School parents and carers are being asked to help monitor the ongoing situation by informing school of any positive cases using the email – covid@churchtown.org.uk

I’ve been absent for some time, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thanks, I will try and check back more frequently. How frequently you update your web site?
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
I was just searching for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Hiya, I’m really glad I’ve found this info. Today bloggers publish just about gossips and internet and this is actually annoying. A good web site with exciting content, that’s what I need. Thank you for keeping this website, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.
I have been reading out a few of your articles and i can claim nice stuff. I will make sure to bookmark your website.
There is visibly a lot to know about this. I consider you made some good points in features also.
Great work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the internet. Shame on Google for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
Enjoyed looking through this, very good stuff, thanks. “Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.” by Steven Wright.

Thank you for sharing with us, I conceive this website truly stands out : D.
Would love to constantly get updated great weblog! .
This website is my aspiration, very excellent design and perfect content.
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours as of late, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely price sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before. “No nation was ever ruined by trade.” by Benjamin Franklin.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I’m very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.
