Till App for School Meals

Our school has been selected to trial the new Till App for school meals.  It will allow you and your child to see their balance, top up on ParentPay, check purchases and see their QR code.

The new App called Till App is available via Google Play or iOS App store.  You will have been sent your unique registration code, so Download when you receive it!!?

Till App is supported by the till company in school, so please do not contact your school with any queries.  Please email [email protected] or visit www.tillapp.co.uk

COVID Test Kits – New Supply

16th November 2021Mrs S Thompson

In line with Government guidance, students have been given a new supply of COVID test kits during registration this week.

LFD tests have been widely and successfully used to detect asymptomatic cases. Recent figures provided to us show that the level of accuracy is currently more than 80% effective at detecting any level of COVID 19 infection and likely to be more than 90% effective at detecting the most infectious people at the point of testing.

North Tyneside Council continues to recommend that household contacts of a positive case should carry out daily testing for 10 days following the positive PCR result. If your child finds themselves in this position, please let us know and we will provide additional test kits for them.

Once again we thank you for your support with this.

COVID Home Testing

5th October 2021J Ranson

Many thanks for your continued support with home testing. To support you with this, all eligible students will be given a new box of home testing kits during Registration this week. Students who have tested positive within the last 90 days should not take one.

Please be aware that we have been provided with Flowflex tests this time. These tests should be taken with a nasal swab only – no throat swabbing. If this is a problem for your child, please let me know and I will provide them with a pack of the Innova tests.

The method of processing the tests is different to what we have been used to, so please follow the instructions included in the pack and in particular be aware of the advice regarding eating and drinking on page 7.
Please remember that results should be reported to both school and the NHS, links available on the website, and we would appreciate your child  continuing to test twice a week.
If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Thompson by email:
[email protected] or telephone 0191 296 2771.
