Clive Corbett, former head of Pershore High School and current Executive Officer of Avonreach Academy Trust has said that although testing places an extra strain on schools as they start back on Monday, it is vital to help prevent a spike in infection rates as school children and staff come together again. Mr Corbett said: “While the testing puts a burden on schools, testing is vital to prevent another spike in infection rates and I want to strongly encourage all parents to get their children tested to keep everyone safe.”
