All this and remote learning on top. Impressive @Broadwaterstaff @GreenshawTrust
Thank you so much to all our amazing volunteers who cracked through testing 90 students with Lateral Flow Tests in just over an hour. We are so grateful to you for enabling us to get our students back to school in the safest possible way. 3 more sleeps! We can’t wait!
