Message from our Head
Thank you to all of our school community for a very successful return from lockdown. Attendance has been good and our students have followed all the safety guidance. I have visited lots of lessons and have seen all the students wearing masks, well ventilated rooms and some excellent learning taking place. Almost 90% of students have completed their Covid tests which has helped to make our school even safer. If any parents have not yet given their permission, please consider contacting us as it is not too late.
Students have taken home their testing kits and should now complete these twice a week. I am grateful to parents for supporting with this. Please remember to log the results with the Government and with the school. If you need any help with this then please contact your child's Head of Year.
I am also grateful for the support parents have given with uniform. Our students are always well presented, and we want to keep this going. They may wear a coat over their blazer in class if it is cold. This needs to be a coat as we do not allow hoodies or sweatshirts. They should also wear their school jumper under their blazer. If they are missing any items, then the Easter holidays are a good chance to replace them. Please contact us if you need any help with this.
School will close at the usual time on Friday 26th March for the Easter Holidays and reopen on Monday 12th April. Please contact school as usual in the first week if your child has a confirmed case of Covid 19. I hope you are able to enjoy some family time together before we begin our Summer term.
