Thursday 3 September and Friday 4 September will be INSET days, and the staff will be returning to school in readiness for the return of all students.

Students will be returning to school and will be taught in year group ‘bubbles’.

The School has been separated into six zones to ensure that each year group will stay within their ‘bubble’ and do not mix with any other year group.

Year 12 and Year 13 will be classed as one year group; therefore will be in the same ‘bubble’.

The return of students will be staggered over the first two weeks of term.

The week commencing 7 September is pastoral focused. The students will be given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with their ‘zones’ and ‘bubbles’ and anything else within the School that has been put in place that may appear different to how it was before lockdown.

During the week commencing 14 September, students will be in school for the whole day and will be taught in their ‘bubbles’, including break and lunch, but as you can see from the timetable/grid attached, year groups will be staggered, to enable students and staff to adapt to the new ‘normal’ day, without having all students in school together.

These plans are provisional, as the situation may change over the summer holidays, but at least this gives you clarification of which days your son will be expected to attend school during the first two weeks of the autumn term.

On the days when your son is not expected in school, he will be set work via Google Classroom/Smarthomework and MUST complete the work to ensure that he does not fall behind and is up to date with his work when all students return to school full time on 21st September.
