Return to school on 8th March

Plans for return to school following Government announcement

Yesterday the Government announced plans for the release from lockdown, including plans for the return of pupils and students to school from 8th March.  Following that announcement, full advice for schools was published in the evening, and it is likely further clarification will emerge in the coming days.

We will look carefully through the guidance and inform you of the plan for welcoming pupils back to the building, once we have digested the advice fully and worked through any ambiguities.

You will be aware that schools will offer all pupils and students asymptomatic testing on their return. Testing is voluntary and schools must obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian.  Please can you log onto ParentPay to give consent.

Please bear with us, as we again look through all areas of school life, and agree a plan that ensures the safety of all in our community. We will share a full plan for re-opening next week.

We looking forward to welcoming pupils and students back into the school building.
