**Lateral Flow Testing for Year 7 Students still aged 11**

We have had several requests for lateral flow testing from the parents of Year 7 students who are currently 11 years of age. Unfortunately, only those aged 12 or over can access lateral flow testing on the school site based upon national guidance issued by DHSC. We will soon be able to share home testing kits for those still aged 11. Please do not being your child for testing on Tuesday 9th March if they are still 11 years of age. We will provide additional guidance regarding home testing kits for your child as soon as we possibly can.
