Kirklees College opened two testing centres at its Huddersfield Centre and Pioneer Higher Skills Centre this week for all new and returning 16-18 students.
In order to keep Kirklees College safe in line with government guidance, students will receive an on-site Covid-19 test before the new term starts on Monday 6 September.
The two test centres are based at the Huddersfield Centre in Landings 72 and Pioneer Higher Skills Centre at Starbucks.
To ensure students are tested across all sites, we are asking students who attend Brunel Construction Centre, Taylor Hill Animal Care Centre or Engineering Centre to book their test at the Huddersfield Centre. Students who attend Springfield Sixth Form Centre can book a test at the Pioneer Higher Skills Centre.
Students who have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 90 days do not need to book a test but will be required to confirm this to staff at the start of term.
