NHS Test and Trace: Mass COVID-19 testing for staff and pupils

Testing for those without coronavirus symptoms has begun across the country using new, quicker COVID-19 tests known as ‘lateral flow tests’.  Along with the other protective measures we are taking, these tests will help staff and pupils to remain in school safely. Up to one third of people who have coronavirus experience no symptoms. By testing we will help to stop the virus spread and help to keep TWGGS open as safely as possible. The test is voluntary, but we would encourage everyone to take it. More information is contained in the FAQ document below, together with a link to the consent form.
