Final letter before Monday
Mr Fox
Good Morning All,
We are busy getting the school ready for reopening on Monday 8th March. There is lots of information here, but start with the Letter 2 Details. This summarises everything you need to know.
Three points I want to share.
By collecting a home test kit from a PCR test site
You can collect up to 4 home test kits at a local collection point. Each kit contains 7 tests.
Collection points in Telford & Wrekin are located at the PCR testing centres, tests can be collected between 1pm and 7pm there is no need for an appointment you can just turn up. We are lucky that we have Donnington Wood Bowling Club, School Road, Donnington (Telford) TF2 8HU
Or
By ordering a home test kit 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.
Order rapid lateral flow home test kits: Order rapid lateral flow home test kits
Rates in Telford, mainly linked to the factories, are higher than anyone wants, help drive this down by getting tested.
If you have any questions, send them to us.
Finally,
Arrival:
Collection: new routine for collection from bottom gate, top gate children will be brought to you.

Around 1 in 3 people with coronavirus (COVID-19) do not have symptoms but can still pass it on to others. Regular testing of people without symptoms (asymptomatic testing) is important to help stop the virus spreading. As lockdown restrictions gradually ease, we all need to play our part to help protect each other.
On Sunday 28 February 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care announced that from Monday 1 March 2021, households with primary school, secondary school and college age children, including childcare and support bubbles, can test themselves twice every week at home as schools return from Monday 8 March 2021. Households, childcare and support bubbles of primary, secondary and college staff can also be tested. Twice-weekly testing will also be offered to adults working in the wider school community, including bus drivers and after school club leaders. The twice-weekly test kits can be accessed:
Via employers if they offer testing to employees
Some employers may be offering lateral flow testing, please check with you employer to see if this option is available to you.
For example: If a member of a household provides works for a business offering Lateral Flow Testing then that business may provide the tests for that household member.
Take a test at a rapid lateral flow test site
You can have a rapid lateral flow test at a local site. Testing at these sites is assisted, which means you will swab yourself under the supervision of a trained operator.
You may need to book an appointment.
Find your nearest rapid lateral flow test site.
In Telford & Wrekin there are three lateral flow test sites:
You can also have a test at the following local pharmacies:

Order rapid lateral flow home test kits
Schools should not give test kits to parents, carers or household members and should not order more test kits for this purpose. Information on where households can access testing will be made available for schools to share with parents and staff shortly.

Letter 1 General Details for 8th March Reopening.
Will parent Pay this morning too.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Following the announcement yesterday the school is working hard on getting ready to reopen on the 8th March.
We are aiming to share more information this week, but this is reliant on government updates.
While we prepare for return please can you support your child to get back into good day/work routines, and sleep patterns. If you need help, please ask.
Please continue to get test if any symptoms develop.
Staff will ring you next week to further discuss.
If you have borrowed tablets or dongles these will need to be returned.
If you have borrowed laptops, these can be borrowed for a bit longer.
We will continue using SeeSaw work as our primary learning tool, allowing you to see your child’s progress through Family SeeSaw.
If any details, like email addresses or phone number have changed, please update us.
Thank you for your continued support, and hopefully, I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
I will update you this week.
