Testing for those without coronavirus symptoms is being conducted across the country using quicker COVID-19 tests known as ‘lateral flow tests.’ Along with the other protective measures we are taking, these tests will help staff and pupils to remain in school safely. Up to one third of people who have coronavirus experience no symptoms.

By testing we will help to stop the virus spread and help to keep our school open as safely as possible. The test is voluntary, but we would encourage everyone to take it.

We are required to obtain consent from all individuals who are taking part in the rapid testing process in school. If you are happy for your child to be tested, please answer the questions in the form (link below). The form will be returned to us automatically once you have pressed ‘Submit’ at the end of it.
