We hope that you have had an enjoyable festive break and wish you all a Happy New Year.
Please read the information below prior to returning to school on Wednesday, 5 January 2022.
Pupils without symptoms should take a Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Covid test before returning to school, on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Test kits are available free of charge from pharmacy shops or test centres.
Following this, LFD testing should be done twice weekly – before Monday and Thursday.
All LFD test results – positive, negative or void – should be recorded via the online portal.
Anyone who receives a positive LFD test result, those with symptoms, or those identified as close contacts should immediately self-isolate and book a PCR test.
Face Coverings must be worn at all times in the school building – including in class. Pupils who are exempt for medical reasons should wear a lanyard.
Pupils are reminded to wear full school uniform and bring appropriate equipment (pens/pencils, PE kit etc).
We look forward to welcoming all young people back to the Academy and thank the school community for their continued support.
