One of our Year 10 students, who has been self-isolating since Tuesday 8th September, has now tested positive for COVID-19. As a precautionary measure and following advice from Public Health England North West, we have been advised to ask all of our Year 10 students to self-isolate for a period of 12 days which means a return to school on 22nd September.
We have adhered to all the guidelines from Public Health England and Blackburn with Darwen Local Authority. We have a robust risk assessment in place. This is a precautionary measure ensuring the safety of all pupils.
As per government guidelines, school will be open as normal for Years 8 and 11.
Our Year 10 students need to access learning from home and not return until Tuesday 22nd September.
Lessons for Year 10 will take place on Google classroom as we have operated previously and will be available by the end of today. Google Classroom can be accessed on any electronic device with internet connection. Anyone having difficulty with this please contact school.
If you have any questions or concerns about this partial, temporary closure, please contact me at your convenience. I can only apologise for this significant disruption.
Yours faithfully
Mrs Hussain
Headteacher
