The government is carrying out a study to try and find out how many children have had COVID-19 in the past. Nursery age children are not taking part.

Parents decide if they would like to help by letting their child take part.

There is one part to the study. The people doing the study will come to school to collect the information they need. They will visit classes and take a saliva swab from children's mouths. Children will rub a small sponge into their mouths for two minutes, like brushing their teeth. The researchers will then use this to see how many children have had coronavirus before.

Pupils do not have to take part if parents do not want them to. Parents can say no at any time.

The study is not organised or managed by Fielding. There is no need to tell us whether your child is or is not taking part.
