Changes to Lunch Provision
To further reduce the risk of proximity contact during this pandemic, we will no longer be serving hot meals and students will be required to bring a packed lunch to school or order a grab bag during registration. We have provided facilities for students to enjoy fresh air at lunch time, however to maintain this facility students MUST follow the:
- Rules of six (small group gatherings only)
- Keep to the same groups and make a note of which pupils they have associated with on the way to school, at lunchtimes and returning home from school
Home learning Years 10 and 11
In preparation for their exams and In order to continue with our Key Stage 4 curriculum exams, we have made the following changes to the timetables for some of our Year 10 and 11 students. The students will return home and continue their work on line at home via live lessons and Google Classroom.
Please reinforce the need for your child to prepare for their online lessons at the time listed below:
Day | Year & Band | Leave School | Logon Time |
Monday | 11B | 12:15pm | 12:45pm & 1:45pm |

I understand the temporary changes are a lot to take in and as a community I am sure you can understand the reasons we have had to make these amendments and value your unwavering support to both your children and school.
I am sure that together we can help minimise the disruption to your child’s education. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact school.
