Face Coverings
From 17th may, in line with Step 3 of the Government’s roadmap, face covering will no longer be recommended for students in classrooms or communal areas in the school.
Face coverings will also no longer be recommended for staff in classrooms. The policy on face coverings will be constantly reviewed and the requirement to wear them for students may be reintroduced for example if there were to be a local outbreak of COVID-19.
If you would like to talk about this further please contact your child’s Head of Year in the first Instance.
