Haverhill’s Samuel Ward Academy closed for cleaning

The school was closed after five teachers tested positive for Covid-19.

The Samuel Ward Academy in Haverhill, Suffolk, said two more staff are waiting to hear the test results.

Unity Schools Partnership, Suffolk County Council, and Public Health England said closure was a “precautionary measure” and the school would be thoroughly cleaned.

I expect it to resume on Tuesday.

Principal Andy Hunter said it was “very disappointing,” but student and staff safety was his “top priority.”

“We will scrutinize the system we have installed to understand how the transmission occurred and to do everything possible to limit the possibility of the same happening again.”

Mr Hunter said secondary schools are considering a number of measures, such as whether children should wear masks in public places and whether staff meetings should be effectively held.

He said that anyone in close contact with the infected staff had been contacted and were told to be self-isolated for 14 days (including 90 students).

Stuart Kieble, director of public health at Suffolk County Council, said the news “worried parents of Suffolk across the country,” but said, “The risk of children being infected with Covid-19 remains very high. It is important to remember that it is small.”

Public Health Dr. David Edwards from East East of England will notify anyone who needs to be self-isolated before returning to school because the closure will allow them to complete contact tracking.

The former Bakkenham High School in Norfolk has also been closed due to staff members being positive for coronavirus.

It was cleaned deeply and said it would resume as soon as possible.
