Ark Greenwich Free School

To order your at home testing kits, click the link here. Please note, you may need to order/collect multiple boxes. Should you need to re-order, you can do so via the same link each time you need a top up. Scholars and their families should test every 3-4 days. Now most chemists also offer free home test kits. 

AGFS cannot provide tests from our testing site, therefore it is the family's responsibility to order tests as needed. Testing kits are completely free and can be posted to your home directly or picked up at a local testing site. However, you must sign up to do so here.

At AGFS we know the most successful scholars are those who demonstrate high levels of independence, often taking responsibility for their own learning and supplementing in-class work with further consolidation activities at home. We have taken some time to provide you with our highly recommended online learning platforms which your child can use to reinforce their learning. Here you will find a range of learning resources on every topic across the curriculum including helpful videos, interactive presentations, revision materials and much more. Scholars already have login details where applicable.

 

 

Expectations for Working While at Home

We expect scholars to be independent while working at home so that they do not fall behind. Scholars should use the topic list here and the below websites to complete appropriate work. All work completed should be recorded on the record of work document linked here. This must be signed by the parent to confirm the work has been completed.

Dear Parents, Carers and Staff,

As asked by the Government AGFS provided two onsite tests for each child spaced 3-5 days apart at the start of the academic year. Continuing through the rest of this half-term, scholars should self-administer two home tests per week. Tests can be ordered here. We support this government initiative as it will help to provide a further layer of security, on top of the existing strict safety and hygiene measures that are already in place across our school.

Testing of students is optional, but strongly encouraged. All information on testing at AGFS can be found by clicking on the links below. If you wish to volunteer to support with testing at AGFS please email: coronavirus@arkgreenwich.org.
