The Government announced on 30 December 2020 that mass lateral flow testing for secondary age pupils will commence from 11 January 2021. We will test all students twice, three days apart, within the first few weeks and to make this happen we are appealing to the community for volunteers to assist in this process. Along with the College’s COVID-safe approach to working, the government will be providing us with the necessary PPE to be able to do this safely. The exact start date for testing has not been confirmed and could be at the end of the first week of term, so that we can make sure everyone is fully trained. If you feel you would like to know more about this, please get in touch with the school by emailing office@arthurmellows.org
