Mass Testing in Schools: Consent advice/documents update (secondary and specialist settings only)
The Testing in Schools Checklist and Consent forms as well as the Health and Safety Risk Assessment form have now been updated in line with the latest Government guidelines. These remove the requirement for a confirmatory PCR test following a positive Lateral Flow test on a school test site and also provide additional guidance related to assisted testing. New documents have been emailed to affected schools.
The Department for Education (DfE) has announced the creation of new Teaching School Hubs which will support all schools from September 2021. Further information available here.

Issue 2559.
News, information and updates for all Early Years providers.
The allocation process for children transferring to secondary education in September is now complete ahead of the Secondary National Offer Day on Monday 1 March. Secondary schools can now see on the School Access Module (SAM) the children allocated and primary and junior schools can now see the destination school in September for their year 6 children. Please see the attached documents for more details.
The latest newsletter from the RM Integris Training & Support Team is available now. Much of the content is about attendance, with news of an imminent new absence code sub-set defined by the DfE which may lead to the DfE not asking as many questions on the daily Educational Setting return or it not being required at all. As always there are other snippets of information that schools should find useful.
