Testing for Covid-19 at JQA
Our ‘Seacole Centre’ was in operation in March but now we are testing using home testing kits.
Lateral Flow Tests are issued regularly to students to take home and are completed each Wednesday and Sunday. Texts and app alerts act as reminders.
Report Results HERE
After taking their lateral flow test at home, all students should report their result to the govt and the school:
- Log it with the govt website at: https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result
- Report the result via our online form: https://tinyurl.com/jqahometest
Any student that tests positive should remain at home and arrange to have the full PCR test, informing the Academy by calling 0121 729 7220 and pressing Option 2.
