Asymptomatic Testing for Households
We encourage family members to take part in regular asymptomatic testing which is available for free at home. See this leaflet for details: http://www.cambslearntogether.co.uk/asset-library/Corona-Virus-Schools/210324-Household-LFD-Testing.pdf
We are informed that Lateral Flow Tests should not be carried out on children of primary age but are instead intended for secondary pupils and adults.
Yours sincerely,
Elaine Lynch
Head Teacher
