LFT and PCR Testing
Please ensure your son is Lateral Flow Testing twice weekly and reporting results via the GOV.UK website. Please remember LFTs are for asymptomatic testing only, so if your son is displaying any of three main covid symptoms (temperature, cough or loss of smell), they must take a PCR test and should not come into school until you have received the results. Please inform the school of PCR test results once received. Thank you.

Please do not complete more than one consent form. You can contact the NHS Berkshire Healthcare Immunisation Team directly with any questions on 0300 365 0077.

Mock Examination Papers
Exam papers and markschemes are being returned to the boys as and when they have been marked, for them to bring home for parents to see and sign. They must then be returned to school, as they may be required as evidence as a contingency measure should GCSEs not be able to go ahead as planned.
