From Shropshire council bulletin:
The Government has confirmed twice-weekly testing using rapid Lateral Flow Tests.
These will be made available for free to all adults in households with primary school-aged, secondary school-aged or college-aged children, for those without symptoms. This includes adults in childcare and support bubbles.
The twice-weekly testing will also be offered to adults working in the wider school community, including bus drivers, taxi drivers and after school club leaders.
As a school, we really encourage you to collect your packs so that we can keep the school community as safe as possible. No appointment necessary, just wear a mask and go to one of the centres above. They can be posted to you and there was a link in my main post on the newsletter.
We are urging parents to observe social distancing and wear face coverings when dropping off and collecting their children from school.
Last year, staff at some schools had raised concerns that not all parents were observing social distancing, and some were ignoring the measures designed to keep them and others safe.
Remember, while schools are reopening, we’re still in the third Lockdown, so please:
Avoid gathering in close groups to catch up or chat outside schools
Follow your school’s instructions on safely dropping off and picking up, and leave immediately once this is done.
