We are looking forward to bringing the students back into school during the week beginning 8th March. Further to the communication sent out earlier in the week I am now able to share with you the arrangements for reopening Campsmount Academy and the plans to test students for Covid-19 on their return.
As you will have heard in the news, the Government are asking all schools to test students for Covid-19 prior to their return. To allow us to organise this, the students will return over a period of five days. Indeed, a number of year groups will be called in early to start the testing process, allowing us to get all our students back into school in as short a time as possible.
Testing arrangements for all year groups are as follows:

Arrangements for Test 1
Tests 2 and 3 will be completed over the next few weeks around learning time, Students must attend school as normal during this time.
Students will not be tested without a completed consent form. If you have not given consent for your child to be tested, your child must return on their official return date.
If your child has previously tested positive for Covid-19, it is important they are NOT retested for 90 days after their result. If your child has tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 90 days please notify the academy via email on covid19@campsmount.com please include your child's full name, year and tutor group.
We understand that the students have faced challenging circumstances over the last few months. Once again it is really important that we establish the academy expectations and routines.
You will shortly receive a ParentMail with further details of your child's allocated time and date for test 1. If you have not yet completed a consent form and would like your child to be tested, please follow the link below:
Consent Form
Once Again may I thank you for your continued support and understanding during these challenging times. If you have any questions regarding the reopening of Campsmount Academy and testing plans please do not hesitate to contact the academy.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth Browne
Principal
