Back to school - support for parents and children

Schools reopening to all pupils on 8 March 2021

We will be supporting both families and schools so that all pupils can return to school on Monday 8 March.

More information about school is on the government's website.

Rapid Covid-19 home tests for adults who live with school age children

If you are an adult who lives with children at primary school, secondary school or college (or if you are in a support bubble or childcare bubble with another household with school age children) you are encouraged to use a rapid Covid-19 test at home twice a week. You can collect these tests free of charge from a testing centre and use them at home - find out more.
