When will the school reopen?

We are asked this question frequently by parents and students alike. We, like all other schools, have to follow the guidance from Government and cannot open until we are told it is safe to do so. There have been reports in the press this week that the PM, Boris Johnson, will be announcing on Sunday 10 May the Government’s plan to ease lockdown. This may include guidance to schools on how and when we can start opening our doors. All we know so far is that the Dept for Education is considering a ‘phased manner’ to reopening schools – but we do not yet know any further detail of these plans.

The Senior Leadership Team will take the guidance given by Government and create a robust plan to return to school safely for pupils, staff and the wider community. We expect to be able to circulate this to parents in good time before children are due to return.
