- Book and pay for a travel test package, which will include COVID-19 tests to be taken on day 2 and day 8 of their quarantine, (Recommended testing companies: DNA Workplace, National Pathology Limited, CTM (NHS T&T) Randox Health). Please note, the CTM (NHS T&T) is the only permissible testing pack for arrivals from Red List countries;
- Complete a passenger locator form before arrival, with details of where they will quarantine when they arrive and the travel test package booking reference number. Please note the School contact is Miss Charlotte Britton.
