Covid-19 - Students self testing

Students will be able to collect home test kits from their Form Tutor on Thursday 18th March. Students are required to sign for each testing kit, containing either 3 or 7 tests in a box, with a leaflet on how to take the test and report the results. We would like students to take their tests before school on Mondays and Thursdays. Preferably this would be in the morning, before going into school and we would suggest you allow enough time to do the test before leaving home. However, we understand that for some people this may be challenging. Therefore, tests can be taken on a Sunday and Thursday evening if needed. You must report the result of each test, regardless if it has registered positive, negative or void to the following:

NHS Test & Trace and Putteridge self-testing recording form

Instructions for self testing in English and 12 other languages can be found here COVID-19 rapid lateral flow home test kit instructions
