Lateral Flow Testing at Home

A big thank you to all of our students for continuing to take Covid Lateral Flow Tests at home, and to their parents for supervising and ensuring our students do so.

Some important points to remember

1.       Please remember that it is really important that all test results are registered on test register. You should receive an email link but if not you can do so by following the link here https://testregister.co.uk/login . After that you will be directed to the Gov.uk registration area where you must also register the result.

2.       Students must not come to school if they have had a positive test. They must isolate immediately, their parents must contact the school to inform us, and they should arrange for a PCR test as soon as possible. Parents should liaise with the school before the student returns to school.

3.       Please also note that the test kits students bring home from school are exclusively for their own use. If families want to order more kits they can do so by following the guidance below.

All families with children at school or in child care can now order lateral flow tests or pick them up from the following points in the borough between 1.00pm and 8.00pm daily:
