Dear Parents / Guardians

 

Thank you for all your support of us this week. All has again run smoothly with Lateral Flow Testing today and we have now tested Years 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 & 7 for the second time.

Today, you should receive your weekly Guardian Summary in respect of your daughter or son’s learning this week. We hope this is useful to you and your child. If you do not receive this, please contact us on Monday and we will resend an invitation.

Early next week, we will provide further details and booking information about our Thursday, April 1^st Years’ 11 & 13 Consultation Day, which is scheduled to run remotely.

This week we have been emphasising to students our expectations around uniform and the requirement to have mobile phones turned off and in bags during lessons, along with our general in school routines. From Monday, 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.

Students must not come into school if they are exhibiting symptoms and need to self-isolate under current guidance. Anyone self-isolating with symptoms must access testing away from school and engage with the NHS Test and Trace process. If a symptomatic student comes into school or develops symptoms whilst in school, parents/carers will be contacted and the student will be isolated until they are picked up.   

Yours Sincerely,

Sonette Schwartz

Principal
