Update - 15 March, 2021

Lateral Flow Tests for senior pupils have now been delivered to the school for distribution to those pupils wishing to take part. These are available for pupils in Years 10 - 13 only. Pupils in Years 7-9 will not have access to the testing, unless Welsh Government policy changes. 

The details for the tests can be found here <https://gov.wales/asymptomatic-testing-education-and-childcare-settings-html

A video of how to do them at home can be found here <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/health-56326456>

In order to distribute these tests to pupils who wish to participate in the testing from home, they can collect their packs at the following times. Participation is voluntary and in line with the Welsh Government advice and guidance. The School will not require any written permission from pupils or parents as the tests are conducted at home and no testing will take place on school premises. Pupils must only perform tests from home and take action in accordance with the information.

Any pupil with symptoms of Covid-19 or a positive Lateral Flow test must stay away from school and seek a full PCR test as soon as possible.

Pupils who have a negative PCR test can return, after confirming that the test result is negative, via the relevant achievement office.
