This only affects Year 9. We are waiting for confirmation from the PCR test before issuing formal letters.** #### **There is no further action for any other students beyond the usual measures: twice weekly lateral flow tests to be taken at home, face masks to be worn and hands washed and sanitised regularly.** #### **Please continue to use the lateral flow tests as they are picking up asymptomatic cases where there are no symptoms - as in this case. If your child has symptoms or is unwell, please do not send them to school. If your child has symptoms they must take a PCR test.** #### [ Transition into NE12 Sixth Form](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2021-05-12-transition-into-ne12-sixth-form) [Face Masks - updated guidance from 17 May 2021 ](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2021-05-14-face-masks-updated-guidance-from-17-may-2021) ![Longbenton High School](https://files.schudio.com/longbenton-high-school-2/images/logo/Digital_FullCol_Hor_WhiteOut_0_0.png) ### Longbenton High School Hailsham Avenue Longbenton Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne & Wear NE12 8ER (0191) 218 9500 (0191) 270 6760 ### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://longbenton.org.uk/contact) - [Ofsted](https://longbenton.org.uk/ofsted-reports) - Curriculum Overview - Prospectus ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/longbentonhs) - [X](https://twitter.com/longbentonhs) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/longbentoncc) © Copyright 2016–2026 Longbenton High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://longbenton.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
