In this section of the website you will find all of the information and documentation relating to the Rapid Covid 19 Tests that have been made available to staff and Senior Phase students (S4-6) as part of the Scottish Government arrangements for the safe re-opening of schools.

From Wednesday 3rd March, students can collect Rapid Covid 19 Test Kits between 8.30am and 1pm Wednesday to Friday. Mr Neil Smith will be available to issue the kits. Mr Smith will be based in the library so students should report to him there and he will take them to CLD3 to issue the kits.

If you need to collect a kit outwith these days can you please email the school office at Penicuik.H.S@midlothian.gov.uk to make an appointment for collection.
