Dear Parents and Carers
And for the last time this year… just a quick letter today to set out a few reminders from last week:
- Please follow the links to the online consent for asymptomatic testing in September. There is one for students who will be in years 7 to 11 and another for sixth formers. Thank you for the great many who have completed this process already!
- In approximately four weeks time, please look out for a message that enables you to book your children’s asymptomatic test with us in September.
- If you are interested in becoming a paid volunteer at our testing site in September, please follow this link to express your interest. The closing date is tomorrow, Friday 23 July. After this point all those who express interest will receive an email inviting them to formally apply by Monday 9 August 2021.
In my letter to you last week, I set out the key arrangements for September. We shall summarise those with you again towards the end of the summer holiday.
Even though the term ends today, the school is never quite shut. Please do contact the school if necessary and we shall do our best to support families during the summer break where necessary.
The responsibility for identifying and notifying close contacts of students who test positive for COVID-19 is now in the hands of the NHS Track and Trace teams. Therefore, should there be a positive case in your household in the coming weeks then they will guide you (and perhaps us) on who to contact. Let us hope such cases are minimal.
With this in mind we all wish you a lovely break and that the sunshine continues to reward us all for an interesting year. It has been a privilege for us all to serve our community during the past 12 and 17 months and we can assure that this commitment will continue in the years to come. In the meantime, I strongly recommend that you take a look at the latest CNS Newsletter which captures just some of the wonderful things that have happened at CNS over the past term.
Have a wonderful summer.
Yours faithfully
Mr Doherty
Headteacher
