Collecting students by car

Thank you to all those parents using the back gate and Argoed Social Club car park. Congestion has been much better of late and I have not received any negative comments from local residents.

Updated Guidance on Lateral Flow Device Tests (LFDs)

Welsh Government have changed the guidance for secondary school pupils who have a household member who has tested positive for COVID-19. In addition to PCR tests on day 2 and day 8 they should also undertake lateral flow tests every day for seven days. This should start on the day a household member is confirmed positive from a lateral flow test or PCR test result. If you require any more LFD kits then ask your child to collect them from school reception at break or lunch time. The link below will take you to the full statement from the Minister.

Yours faithfully

Mr P Smith
