Face Coverings

Unless exempt, all students (and staff) MUST wear face coverings in all communal areas of the school. Face coverings can help us protect each other and reduce the spread of the disease if you are suffering from coronavirus but not showing symptoms. Please ensure that your sons and daughters bring a face covering to school every day.

Classrooms

Students are taught in a range of classrooms and move around the school for different subjects. Each classroom has hand sanitiser available, enabling everyone to maintain good hand hygiene.

Lateral Flow Testing (LFT)

All students and staff are encouraged to please test twice a week (Wednesdays and Sundays). Results should be uploaded to NHS Track and Trace and to the school’s first aid reporting system, Medical Tracker. Test kits are available from tutors or the school office.

Click here for instructions on how to submit LFT results using Medical Tracker.

Other members of your household can arrange to take a rapid test at a local site, collect home test kits from a local collection point or order kits online.

Reporting Covid Test results

If a student tests positive or gets coronavirus symptoms, they should tell the school (Email:  covid@foresthillschool.co.uk) and:

• self-isolate immediately
• get a PCR test to confirm the result
• follow the stay at home guidance for households with possible coronavirus infection
