​Request

What number of eligible students participated in the voluntary PCR testing offered up to midnight on 10 January 2021? I would like to know this as a percentage of those eligible or to know how many were eligible and how many participated.

I would also like to know the positive / negative breakdown.

Response

1,510 students aged 15 to 18 year olds were tested between 1 January and 10 January 2021 (this excludes inbound travel, seeking healthcare and contact tracing).

This represents 54% of the eligible pupil population.

All students in Year 11 to Year 13 were eligible.

Four students tested positive for COVID-19.
