End of Autumn term and arrangements for January 2022

by Admin
2022, letter, starting new term
Comments are off

I think we can all agree that it has been a busy term and the holidays are much needed! It has been fantastic to see so many achievements for our young people this term; from EYFS to Year 13, they have worked hard, they have got involved in school life and continue to do their very best in their learning. I look forward to seeing this continue next term.

We finish for the Christmas holiday on Friday 17th December.  Primary students should be collected from 11:45am.  Secondary students will be dismissed from 11am.  Those who wish to stay to eat at break time will leave site at 11:30. (16+ will finish after their lessons on Thursday 16th December).

Updated Coronavirus guidance

We have received updated guidance from the Department for Education (DfE) with regards to the requirement to self-isolate if identified as a close contact.  A new national approach to daily testing for contacts of COVID-19 is being introduced. All adults who are fully vaccinated, and children aged 5 to 18 years and 6 months, who are identified as a contact of someone with COVID-19 – whether Omicron or not – should take a Lateral Flow Test (LFT) every day for 7 days from their last day of contact with the relevant person, instead of self-isolating. Anyone over the age of 18 years and 6 months who is not vaccinated, must isolate in line with Government guidelines if they are identified a close contact of a positive case. 

Wednesday 5th January – start of term arrangements

Primary – all students arrive from 8.40am for the normal school day

We urge parents of primary children to do a lateral flow test at home on the night before or morning of returning to school.  LFT kits can be collected from the reception desk.

Secondary & 16+

At the time of writing, the Government has asked us to offer all secondary pupils, for whom we have parental consent, an on-site Lateral Flow Test as they return to school for the start of term (see schedule below).  You will only be contacted if your son/daughter tests positive.
