Ice dancers Ellie O'Connell and Joshua Tarry represent Great Britain at the advanced novice level. They are (I believe) 13 and 14, but as they don't have an ISU bio page yet, it's a bit hard to find data yet for them. They were recently featured in a BBC documentary called Ice Stars and are the current GB silver basic novice medalists with a total score of 39.64. Personal best from what I can find is 52.73 (advanced novice) at IJS Sheffield from August 2015.
The team is no longer competing.
Since we've all been discussing them in the Ice Stars thread in the Share It section, I thought they deserved their own fan fest. (As a side note, this is my first fan fest, so if there's something I'm doing wrong or something I can add, please do let me know!)

*For simplicity's sake, I've combined the pattern dances.
**Only one pattern dance competed at this event; hence the lower score.
