COVID Home Testing
Following lateral testing in school students will start to bring testing kits home. It is requested that students carry out two tests per week at home, 3-5 days apart, starting from the last test carried out in school.
Students will only be issued with a home testing kit once they have completed three tests in school.
In line with current Public Health and Government guidance, a positive test result received at home will require self-isolation. A positive test result will also require a confirmatory PCR test which can be carried out at one of the local COVID testing centres.
Any student who has been vaccinated is still recommended to carry out home testing following their three tests in school.
Please note the leaflet inside the test kit should be ignored. A separate A5 explanatory leaflet will be provided that gives detailed instructions of how to carry out the test and register the result with NHS Test and Trace. Schools have also been asked to collect results. Please inform school of the result of home testing using this App: https://covid.burnsidecollege.org.uk
If you have any queries or concerns please contact the school office.
