You are no longer required to complete twice weekly testing. However, we do have a limited stock of test kits for you to continue testing should you wish to do so. Please respect this precious resource and only collect what you need and do not stockpile.

Students with SEND are encouraged to continue testing and will be offered sufficient test kits to complete tests twice per week as will the staff who work with them.
