Lateral Flow Testing

January 4, 2021

NHS Test and Trace: COVID-19 testing for staff and pupils.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are working to keep our school as safe as possible. You may have heard that testing for those without coronavirus symptoms is beginning across the country using new, 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/college 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 I would encourage everyone to take it.

We will be testing all staff and secondary school /pupils who want to participate from week commencing 4 January 2021.   I enclose an instructional leaflet with some more information.
