Does anyone know whether it is just secondary schools expected to magically arrange testing for pupils next month?

No one really knows anything as the DfE, as usual, have not been clear. In the initial info it says it will happen in primaries during the spring term.

I'll check the entrails, but the answer will probably change at least 3 times before Twelfth Night

When they let Gavin Williamson out the PE cupboard they’ve locked him in we might know.

That implies he's in a school. He's not been anywhere near one recently. I think he's locked in the loo as he's shit scared.

I believe it will just be secondary schools. They’re the age group behind the largest increase.

Primary children are in much smaller bubbles and have never been asked to wear masks.

Why they didn’t start this in September is beyond me.

Primary schools will start the testing in Spring once it’s rolled out in secondary schools.

@lonelyplanet that’s quite right, maybe he’s having a lesson some where in number 10 with a ladybird book showing him what a school is. This is school, school is fucked, this is your fault.
