  Regular COVID-19 testing - Letter from Gavin Williamson

  Published 21/06/21, by Megan Innes

  We would like to share with you below a message from the DfE, reminding you that students in Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 should be continuing to complete their Lateral Flow Device (LFD) tests twice weekly on a Sunday evening or Monday morning, and Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. The results of each of their LFD tests should be reported both via the GOV website, and our school MS Form, links to both can be found below. Students are welcome to report the results themselves, but parents can also do this on their behalf.

  With the increase in cases with variants of concern, it is important to detect cases of coronavirus to keep covid out of the classroom. While robust measures remain in place to keep students and staff safe, it is vitally important that young people at secondary school continue to test twice weekly and report the results.
