Latest School Updates
Government Changes to Face Coverings in schools
Due to a change on Sunday Afternoon due to the new Omricon variant, the government have issued the following change to how schools must operate with effect from Tuesday 30th November. The government now states that:
Face Coverings
- Face coverings should be worn in communal areas in all settings by staff, visitors and pupils or students inyear 7 and above, unless they are exempt.
- Pupils or students (in year 7 or above) should continue to wear face coverings on public and dedicated school transport, unless they are exempt.
Please note that this is now compulsory for ALL members of the school community, unless exempt with effect from TUESDAY 30th NOVEMBER 2021, until further notice. As a school community, I know I shared with you all that cases of COVID-19 are currently low across the school and that we had made the decision to make face coverings as a personal preference. Please now ignore this previous advice.
May I thank you, as always for your continued support and we are all acutely aware that this can only be done with the support of you as parents and by working in partnership with our students. May I thank you once again for your support in this matter.
Yours Sincerely, Mr P Johnson, Vice Principal
