Covid testing

Schools are no longer being provided with testing kits to issue to students, although these remain available via the government website.

If a home test result is positive, please inform the school by telephone or email immediately and keep your child at home. Our office staff will be able to advise on the latest self-isolation guidance for schools and let you know when your child can return. In terms of isolation, the first day is counted as 'day zero'. 'Day one' is the first full day following a positive test.

We are happy to set work for students who are self-isolating but feeling well.

If you have any queries, please email office@theswanageschool.co.uk
