The headteacher of Ottery Primary School has put himself into isolation for two weeks – but assured parents it’s ‘business as usual’.
In a letter sent to parents and carers, Mark Gilronan said his decision was sparked by a member of his household, who started to display symptoms of Covid-19, known as the coronavirus.
Mr Gilronan said: “I have taken what I feel is the prudent decision to follow the government guidance and self-isolate for 14 days, along with my family.”
Mr Gilronan said he is not displaying any symptoms of the illness and feels ‘absolutely fine in myself’.
He added he will be in ‘constant communication’ with the school and stressed it is business as usual, ‘albeit from a slightly different location’.
