Dear Parent / Carer,
Due to significant staff disruption due to Covid 19, regrettably we will have to close year 9 tomorrow, 30 March 2022.  It will not be possible to run live online lessons as staff may be being used to cover absent colleagues. We will therefore ensure that work will be available on Google Classroom.  
Currently we are only planning to close lessons to Year 9 for one day but if the situation changes we will let you know as soon as we can, as it may be necessary to extend the closure in to Thursday and Friday, or to close other year groups. 
I am very sorry we have to do this, but we cannot run all lessons with the current levels of staff absence.  We are awaiting further guidance from the government on how the rules on self-isolation will change from the 1 April.  Hopefully things will have settled down by next week and we can return to normal operations.
Thanks for you forbearance.
Mr Chris Wade
Principal
