The testing took place on Thursday and Friday. Head of School, Bruce Burley, was committed to getting students back in the classroom as soon as possible and wanted to avoid a staggered start despite the huge logistical challenge of mass testing before March 8. Rachel Ure, the operations manager at the school and the testing co-ordinator, said that testing 90 per cent of the student population of Wyvern St Edmund’s in just two days was made possible thanks to “a lot of planning and preparation” but also due to the number of experienced test processors in the school testing clinic. Wyvern St Edmund’s have been running a daily Lateral Flow Device (LFD) testing clinic since the first week of January for students and staff attending school throughout lockdown.
