Even though we have identified a number of positive Covid cases across our schools over recent weeks, encouragingly the numbers are falling.
As you may be aware, our staff in school have led and facilitated the Lateral Flow testing procedure which has been above and beyond expectation. To enable the school to be fully operational the NHS has kindly offered to further support the school by providing two days of onsite PCR testing on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd September via two mobile testing units. In addition, we are hopeful that a mobile processing unit will also be made available allowing test results to be processed quickly on site, with results being reported to parents within approximately 4 to 6 hours.
Any students who have had Covid in the past 90 days are exempt from taking the PCR test.
The PCR testing applies to students of parents who gave consent for their child to be part of the asymptomatic testing back in the Spring term. However, if this no longer applies please contact the school.
