Lateral Flow Testing for September 2021

Lateral Flow Testing for September 2021

Return to school arrangements September 2021

As you will be aware, we are required to test all consenting students on their return to school in September, using later flow tests. We must do this twice in the first two weeks and due to the number of tests required we are staggering the return to school and testing some students PRIOR to the start of term.

A letter outlining the arrangements was emailed to all parents on 26th July 2021 - copies can be found here. Please do have a read of the letter to understand the full arrangements. A summary is below.

New parents - CONSENT IS REQUIRED and can be given or declined via ARBOR - please refer to the letter for details on how to do this. 
Other parents - thank you for consent previously given. If you wish to add or withdraw consent please let the office know.
