Lateral flow testing over the summer holidays

All students in school should have been given a new test kit this week. Students who are isolating, or absent for another reason, may have missed this. Therefore, school will be open for collection of a test kit box from reception in the week of August 9th – 13th or on September 1st or 2nd should your son / daughter need one.

When should testing be done over the summer holidays?

• Students who have been in school this week should test this coming Sunday then not again until the afternoon before they next come into school.
• Students who have not been in school this week should only test the afternoon before they next come into school.

This return to school will be in September for most students, but some students may need to test the day before collecting exam results in August also. As always, testing is voluntary but strongly encouraged. As a school, we have not been provided with tests for students to test throughout the holidays. The remaining tests from their new kit are for testing during September.

Where can I access more test kits from if I wish my son / daughter to test at other times over the holiday?

Do test results still need to be reported?

Yes, please – to both GMS and the NHS. Links to both reporting sites are on the front page of the school website.

Thank you for your continued support.
