Please read the advice below, the tests are for your own peace of mind and are not a requirement for children to return to school.

From 1 March 2021, if you’re a member of a household, childcare bubble or support bubble of staff or a pupil you can get a twice-weekly test:

• through your employer if they offer testing to employees
• at a local test site
• by collecting a home test kit from a test site
• by ordering a home test kit online

You will need to order or collect your own testing kits, it is not done through the school.

Collect test kits

You can collect 2 packs of home test kits at a local collection point. Each pack contains 7 tests.

Anyone 18 or over can collect. You can check online if the location is busy before you go.

Find your nearest home test kit collection point.

Order home test kits online

If you cannot get tested at your workplace, or are unable to go to a test site or collect test kits, you can order a home test kit online.

Do not order online if you can get a test through other methods. This frees up home delivery for those who need it most.

We look forward to seeing your wonderful costumes next week.

We have had a complaint from a neighbour regarding the parking outside school.

People are continuing to park on junction corners, on pavements and on the yellow lines, making pulling out and crossing very unsafe.

The local police have agreed to monitor the parking outside the school and will be issuing fines to those parked on the yellow line or dangerously.

Please use the two car parks by the village hall and field to park and walk along the path to school.

Thank you
