COVID-19 Vaccine
The NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme is now open to everyone aged 16 and over. With many students now eligible, the NHS nationally has asked for our support to help get the message to students and get them protected as quickly as possible.
The NHS is putting on over 300 additional vaccination centres, many of which will be operating on a walk-in basis, allowing students to get their first dose quickly and easily. The full list of walk-in vaccination centres can be found by clicking here.

COVID 19 Support for English and Maths GCSE: 16-19 Tuition Fund – updated September 2021
The college will provide individual and small group (up to 5) support sessions for students who do not yet have Grade 4 in English or Maths GCSE, have an EHCP, or are from areas of economic disadvantage. These sessions will supplement the classroom teaching and enable students to have more personal feedback and help with their preparation for GCSE exams. This support is funded by the Government and is enabling the employment of additional teaching staff.
Students will receive support individually or in small groups (up to 5). Students with English as a second language will be prioritised for support with specialist teachers. If you would like to know more, please contact sdann@longroad.ac.uk

COVID-19 Lateral Flow Testing
We encourage staff and students to take part in regular lateral flow testing to help reduce transmission in our community. It is advised that tests are taken twice per week, on a Sunday and a Wednesday. For instructional videos on how to carry out your lateral flow home test kit, please click here.
Students can collect home testing kits from the LRC. Staff can collect home testing kits from reception.
If you are 18+ and are in a household, childcare or support bubble with someone who works or is a student at a primary school, secondary school or sixth form college you can order a lateral flow home test kit.
Please note: These kits are for asymptomatic testing only, if you cannot get a test from your workplace. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or have been told to self-isolate, please stay at home and book a test via https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
