SWITCHING TO HOME TESTS

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If your child was involved in Lateral Flow Tests at school, they will now receive their home testing kits to transition to testing at home.
All the information about this has been sent to your email, but it is also attached here:

Please note, students will come home on Friday 19th March with 9 tests (3 boxes) as this will last them over the Easter break.
