Havering schools insist a lack of funding will make it impossible for them to carry out mass Covid testing of staff and students.
The Department of Education is sending rapid-result tests to primary schools from Monday (January 18) and has been sending them to secondary schools and colleges throughout the month.
At the Havering Schools Funding Forum on Thursday, January 14, a number of headteachers said it would be impossible to actually use the tests without money to hire more staff.
