Over the past month, some PCR tests completed at the Newbury Showground testing site, operated by the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC), have had results sent out that may have incorrectly shown as negative for Covid-19.
After receiving reports from local residents in recent weeks that there were concerns about the accuracy of test results from the site, we passed these concerns onto the DHSC for further investigation. The DHSC has now confirmed that a number of sites nationally may have been affected by this issue, including the one at Newbury Showground.
If you took a PCR test between 3rd - 12th October which was negative, we strongly recommend a retest for you and for any close contacts. It is important to take a PCR test as without it; we cannot complete contact tracing and offer support to the people who need it. For further information on booking a PCR please visit https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
School Day
We shall continue to operate our one-way system around the main buildingat the end of the day.
To minimise visitors on site, the office will remain closed for face to face visits. You may continue to ring or email the office. Additionally, the front reception area has been used to run intervention support groups and we would like to keep this additional space to continue this targeted support.
Thank you for helping us keep your children safe.
