COVID-19 GUIDANCE FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
Self Testing at home information for Parents & Carers
Performing a self test
It is great to welcome our students back to Wade Deacon after the summer break. The start of our Autumn term also marks the end of mass testing in school. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our marvellous volunteers from the local community and our staff, who have all worked tirelessly to help facilitate our students in receiving their tests before their return to school.
All students have now been provided with home test kits for twice weekly home testing. Ideally, we would ask that students stick with the same testing schedule each week and that they take their tests on a Monday and a Thursday.
Test results must be recorded using the NHS track and trace website and each test kit will contain a helpful step by step guide providing further information on how to record results. Parents and carers will also need to notify the school of each test result, which can be done by completing this form below:
You can also access the school reporting form by scanning the QR code below.
