NHS Test and Trace: COVID 19 testing for students
We are working to keep our college as safe as possible. You may have heard that testing for those without coronavirus symptoms is beginning across the country using new, quicker COVID-19 tests known as ‘lateral flow tests’.
Following the government’s announcement to reopen schools on 8th March 2021, we will be testing all students who want to participate. These tests will help staff and students to remain in college safely. By testing we will help to stop the virus spread and help to keep our college open as safely as possible.
An information letter, consent form and guidance are attached below. To allow the college to estimate the demand for testing on site, please complete the consent from for each child who wishes to participate and return by Wednesday 3rd March 2021.
Thank you for your support

Clinically Extremely Vulnerable Pupils
Guidance published by the government released on 04/11/20 has laid out expectation for pupils who are Clinically Extremely Vulnerable attending education. Link
The guidance should be implemented immediately as the restrictions come into place 00:01 05/11/2020.
Most children originally identified as clinically extremely vulnerable no longer need to follow this advice. Speak to your GP or specialist clinician, if you have not already done so, to understand whether your child should still be classed as clinically extremely vulnerable.
Those children whose doctors have confirmed they are still clinically extremely vulnerable are advised not to attend school while this advice is in place. Your school will make appropriate arrangements for you to be able to continue your education at home. Children who live with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable, but who are not clinically extremely vulnerable themselves, should still attend school.
