Keep up to date with all the latest school news and messages for parents
Households and families with school-aged children can now access COVID-19 home testing kits. The 'community collect' service launched this month to households with primary and secondary school and college age children, as well as those providing childcare and in support bubbles. Testing kits are to be used twice weekly, meaning people can self-isolate faster if they test positive.
Home-testing kits can currently be ordered online for home delivery at www.gov.uk/coronavirus (click here to be directed to the 'rapid lateral flow testing for households and bubbles' webpage) or can be collected from Topping Lane PCR test site near Brunel University.
Kits will also be available for collection shortly from the borough's seven asymptomatic testing sites, for which you can find out more at www.hillingdon.gov.uk/community-testing.
We are pleased to inform you that we will be celebrating Red Nose Day next Friday, 19th March. On this day, children can come to school dressed up in their own clothes or wearing something silly in the theme of Red Nose Day.
If your child is celebrating their birthday during the week and had planned to wear their own clothes on this day, please be advised that they can wear their own clothes on the following Friday to mark their special day.
To help us mark and celebrate Red Nose Day, we are asking parents to make a small contribution to Comic Relief by clicking on the link below and 'Gift Aid' your donation if you can. All donations are voluntary, with a suggested minimum amount of £1 per child and will go directly to Comic Relief to help families less fortunate than us during this challenging time. All contributions, however big or small, will be gratefully received.
