    School will re-open again for students in September with staggered start dates due to the new COVID guidance received by school. If you have previously consented to on-site lateral flow testing, your child will attend school the day before their lessons start (on the dates below) according to your child’s year group. If you did not previously consent but you would like your child to be included in the return to school covid on-site testing please contact enquiry@hillcrest.bham.sch.uk

    Please see below for testing dates and return to school dates. On the testing date your child will only be on school premises for the lateral flow testing and then is to leave the site and return home. Your child is then free to return to school from the return to school date unless you receive instructions otherwise.
