05/03/21 Ordering Lateral Flow Tests for Home Use As mentioned in Mr McDonald’s letter emailed yesterday to parents (and on the school website today), all families of school age children, and any adults in bubbles with them, can get home rapid self-tests and test twice a week. It is important to know that is NOT compulsory and is purely personal choice. Schools cannot provide the test kits but they can be ordered/collected as below or you can order them online if you can’t collect. Getting your tests
You do not have to book an appointment You do not need any paperwork or ID You do need to wear a face covering (unless you're exempt) You do need to follow social distancing You must be 18 or over to collect tests You can get up to 4 packs of tests (there are 7 tests in a pack) depending on the size of your household
Find your local collection site and get your tests today You can also take a test at a community assisted test site if you prefer. https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests or order online with this link for deliveries These tests are available for anyone in the bubble of a school aged child or anyone who lives with someone who works in a school who does not already get self-tests through their own workplace.
