COVID-19 and Updates

Home Lateral Flow Testing

From the week beginning 21st March students have access to twice weekly lateral flow home testing. Students will bring their testing kits home from school and we encourage them to test every Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Whatever the result of the test it needs recording to both the NHS and to the school via these links.
