Staff at Maidstone Grammar Schools for Girls have been testing up to 20 pupils a day for months for Covid-19, but next week that number will shoot up to around 500 each day.
Across the country schools are preparing to welcome back pupils on Monday, after months of home learning. As part of this plan, students will be tested three times in school when they return and then home testing kits will be provided, for pupils to be tested twice a week.
