Message sent on behalf of the Childhood Immunisation Team, Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.

It is with regret that I have to inform you that Nunthorpe Multi Academy Trust has been issued with a Termination Warning Notice in respect to Rye Hills Academy.

We have had notification of a positive test in Year 10. All year 10s will need to self isolate and not come into school on Monday morning until we have had the opportunity to complete a detailed track and trace of the students classes. At this point we will send communication stating whether your child needs to continue to self isolate until Saturday 31st October or can return to the academy at lunchtime on Monday 19th October.

On reading the detail of the risk assessment you will understand how we are approaching reopening to ensure that everyone who accesses the site is safe and how we are minimising non-essential visitors to site.

Please could we remind parents / carers of the following processes that we have in place for reporting positive Covid-19 tests.

On Monday 28th September it was brought to the attention of the academy that a group of students conducted themselves poorly in the community.

This is a message to last year’s (2019/20) Year 11 students. If you would like to come and empty your student locker, please contact Miss Coverdale by email at jcoverdale@nunthorpe.co.uk by no later than Wednesday 21st October 2020.

We are extremely saddened to share the news that one of our wonderful students, Devon Caddick, passed away last week after a long battle with illness.

Please read the below message from Redcar & Cleveland local authority which we have been asked to share with all of our parents and carers to support our previous communication on 8th September.

We have been advised that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the academy. We have carried out a full risk assessment and identified all those who have been in close contact with the affected case and have recommended that they stay at home and self-isolate for 14 days.
