  • Remote Learning - Years 8, 9 and 10

    Published 16/07/21

    Dear parent / carer,
     
    With an increasing number of pupils and staff unable to attend school due to self-isolation we have regrettably decided to move to remote learning for all pupils in Years 8, 9 & 10 from Monday.  

    Staff will set work on Google Classroom or will run sessions through Teams, as in the last lockdown.
    If you require support through the use of a chrome book, please let us know.  Pupils in year 7 still attending school will work in designated ICT rooms so that they can access the work in school.

    Pupils in Year 7 and students in Year 12 who are not self-isolating will still attend normal lessons, however this may change based on numbers in school on a daily basis. We will keep parents / carers  updated as required.

    Many thanks for your support and understanding.
    Mr Chris Wade
    Principal
