Reporting results
Step one: It is important that results of each test are reported online straight away, even if your child’s result is negative or void. It’s easy to do at www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result.
Results can also be reported via telephone by calling 119 (free from mobiles and landlines). Lines are open every day, 7am to 11pm if you prefer.
Step Two: It is important to keep a note of your child’s results and share with school or college as well. Please do this by visiting our school website and clicking to log a home test result. You can also scan this QR code to access the link you need. (Do this for all results: Positive/Negative/Void).
