-Once you have completed your test, please leave site promptly to allow the smooth flow of students through the test centre.
Please don't arrive early for your slot - this will minimise your waiting time!

-You will receive notification of your result via text/email after around 30mins. Please note: last week the Government site dealing with handling the notifications struggled on occasion, so messages may be delayed.

-If you receive a positive test result, a member of staff will contact you to discuss the next steps.

-Guidance published this weekend has recommended that students do not eat or drink 30mins before the test, as this may affect the result.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school directly if you have any questions about the tests next week. ... See MoreSee Less

Appointments for our Testing Centre have been sent out via form tutors, ClassCharts and parental email. The appointments for students will be on a surname basis, and we ask that students adhere to the appointment slot given. Further information is contained within the messages sent out, and a short video explaining to students what they can expect in the testing centre can be viewed at the link below.

We have received several messages this morning from parents who have missed the deadline to give consent for testing. We will reopen the link for consent, but please be aware that appointments requested for testing at this stage will only be able to be accommodated in the afternoon of the allocated day. The link will reopen at 9am Friday 5th of March, and will close at 3pm the same day. Thank you for your patience!
