Lateral Flow Tests

The government would like households to start doing Lateral Flow Tests at home twice a week.  This is to identify anyone with Covid who does not have symptoms.  We would like all our families attending school to take part in this scheme.  Please see the press release from the local authority containing information about how you can access the testing kits.  Thank you. 

If you do have symptoms, you need to take a PCR test and not a Lateral Flow Test.  LFT which are taken at home, cannot be used as proof that someone with symptoms is safe to return to school.  Please see the information image below.
