*ONE MORE REQUEST*

date posted: 26/11/2021

Dear families,

 

*ONE MORE REQUEST*

Thank you for your support in your child's attendance. It is really positive at the moment. But I have a further request which I hope will keep you all safe.

 

COVID is still about in Hammersmith and Fulham. We have so far been very lucky, and have had no cases in school in 2021. This is incredible but to stay safe, the local authority have discussed with me the possibility of families joining staff and doing an LFT test every Sunday with your children at home. 

 

Tests can be ordered here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing/regular-rapid-coronavirus-tests-if-you-do-not-have-symptoms/

 

I am talking to the local authority about having tests for families delivered at school and I will let you know how this develops. But if you can order the tests and complete the LFT, we can be even more secure about keeping COVID out of Old Oak. Thanks again.

We could have lots happening in school in December, but only if we keep COVID out. If we can work together on this, then we can keep children and staff safe and allow them to have a great time too. If anything changes, and we have cases in school or the local community, I will let you know.

 

Have a good weekend.

 

Best wishes
