  • Reminder of on-site testing plans

    Published 31/08/21

    We are looking forward to meeting all of our new Year 7 students on Friday, and hope they are excited to join us! We communicated with parents and carers back in July confirmation of your child's tutor group and teacher. Please can we make you aware that 3 tutor group codes shared with you at the time have been updated since the end of the last term.

    We have detailed below the full list of Year 7 tutor groups and their COVID-19 testing time slots have been added below for your information (for ease of reference, those marked with an * have been updated). Please be aware that there are no changes to the staffing of these tutor groups, it is only the tutor group code which has changed.

  • Year 7 on-site testing - September 2021

    Published 29/07/21

    You will have received a communication from us on Tuesday 20 July regarding our testing arrangements for September 2021.  In line with Government guidance, we will be operating on-site COVID-19 testing when we re-open in September for Secondary Phase students. Testing is voluntary but staff and students are strongly encouraged to participate as testing regularly helps to reduce the spread in school and college settings through asymptomatic transmission.

    Full details of the testing plan can be found within the document attached at the foot of this page.

    Finally, we have put together a booklet of Transition Tasks to keep our new Year 7s engaged over the summer!  We ask that you encourage your child to at least try some of the tasks and we look forward to seeing and sharing some of their fantastic achievements in the new term!
