COVID-19 Testing Information for Parents from Buckinghamshire Council
As you probably already know, everyone working in primary schools and Early Years settings is testing twice a week for COVID-19 to help keep the school community safe. While nursery and primary school pupils do not have to be tested, other members of their households can access regular testing and we urge you to do so - every case we can pick up and isolate helps to stop the virus spreading and ultimately keeps us all safer.
Anyone with a child at a primary school can get tested regularly by attending one of the four rapid test sites in Buckinghamshire, or you can go and collect test kits to do yourself at home. If it’s hard for you to go to a site, you can have test kits posted out to you – all the details are on the government’s website at www.gov.uk/guidance/rapid-lateral-flow-testing-for-households-and-bubbles-of-school-pupils-and-staff
Thank you so much for playing your part in the fight against COVID-19. For more local information about COVID-19 and to find the locations of the Buckinghamshire rapid test sites, you can go to the Buckinghamshire Council website at www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/coronavirus
Simon James, Service Director – Education, Buckinghamshire Council
Testing of children with Covid symptoms
The rapid test centres in Bucks provide lateral flow tests (LFT) and are designed for people to use regularly to check if they are asymptomatic.
If children are showing any Covid symptoms we would request that they have a PCR test which can be booked online here - https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test. You can book a visit to a test site to have the test - test sites are open 7 days a week - or you can order a home test kit if you cannot get to a test site.
Children on school grounds at pick up time
A polite reminder that siblings / younger children should not be playing on the playground equipment at pick up time. Thank you.
Accident-Free in CSG - Junior School
Thank you to those parking at the playing fields and considerately around the village.
Road safety
We had a report of a near miss on Wednesday morning when a young child ran out from between the parked cars on Deanway straight in front of someone driving up Deanway. Fortunately the driver was slowing down to turn into Parsonage Road but it was a very near miss and really shook the driver. Please be aware of how your children are crossing the road on their way to and from school and ensure they are aware to cross safely at the zebra crossing.
