Sixth Form students have received their third lateral flow test today in school and will now move onto home testing kits, which will be provided by us. Other year groups will follow shortly.

Efficient testing stations set up in our Gym have allowed us to test students in all year groups at least twice since we reopened on 8th March. This is an excellent achievement and one which means that all of our students will soon be able to move to twice weekly home tests. This system will make our school even safer.

We are all committed to doing whatever it takes to keep our school safe and open so all of our staff have already established a home testing regime with tests taken each Sunday and Wednesday, and results reported to the NHS.
