With the government’s "Living with Covid" approach that came into effect from April 1st I thought it useful to update you with the new regulations we are expected to follow in school. I have attempted to summarise the details here: Students who live with someone who has a positive Covid19 test result but are not positive themselves or have symptoms should continue to attend school as normal.

If they test positive for Covid19 they should not attend [...]

It is with great disappointment that we have seen a significant increase in the number of positive Covid19 cases within both the student and staff population in the last week. Cases have increased from 3 student cases last Monday on the return from half term break to 36 student cases today. That equates to a 1,100% increase in 7 days. As a result, we will need to step up and reinforce the Covid19 measures in school for at least the next two weeks. These will involve: The wearing of face coverings at all times when in buildings. This includes in classrooms. [...]

It is with regret that we will need to postpone the school production of Fame due to issues with Covid19.

Any tickets already purchased will be honoured for the corresponding new dates. We are sorry for any convenience this re-organisation may cause.
