Dear Parents / Guardians
Thank you for all your support of us today. All has again run smoothly with Lateral Flow Testing today and we have now tested Years 13 and 12 for the third time.
If you did not receive your weekly Guardian Summary in respect of your daughter or son’s learning last week please contact us and we will resend an invitation.
We would like to remind you that students will be learning remotely on Thursday, April 1st with work set in Google Classroom for all students. Students should stick to their normal timetable and work on those tasks through the day and submit all work at the end of the day. Teachers will also set Homework Assignments in Google Classroom as per the Homework Timetable. No online live lessons will take place with teachers. No student should attend school on Thursday, April 1st.
For information about and booking of appointments for the Years 11 & 13 Parents’ Consultation Day, please see our separate letter to parents.
This week we are emphasising to students our expectations around uniform / smart office wear for the Sixth Form and the requirement to have mobile phones turned off and in bags during lessons, along with our general in school routines. Where students are not dressed in appropriate uniform / office wear for Sixth Form they will be sent home to change.
Please watch our video explanation of Lateral Flow Testing at home with your daughter or son, as this is a quick, easy guide to what some of us find is a slightly fiddly process.
