Dear Parents/ Carers/ Students
I hope you are well and enjoyed the lovely half term weather.
With some children returning to primary schools this morning, I thought it would be helpful if I clarified our position with regards to our students
Year 7-9 Work will continue to be set on line and students are not expected to come into school other than Key Worker / SEND and Vulnerable students
Year 10 1:1 Meetings have been set up for 9th and 10th June – we have already had 74% parents already signed up for this. Teachers will continue to set work on SMHW and we are looking to extend our virtual lesson platform on Microsoft Teams. We are also looking to run some key workshops in July once we have completed the 1:1 meetings.
Year 11 1:1 Phone Calls have been completed and Sixth Form Induction is being planned. GCSE levels are being submitted to the exam boards this week and exam results will be published on 20th August.
Year 12 1:1 Meetings have been set up for 17th June alongside work set on SMHW. On-line lesson delivery is being extended and we are looking to plan lessons where classes can be socially distanced later this month.
Year 13 1:1 phone calls have been completed. GCE and BTEC grades are being sent to exam boards this week are exam results are published on 13th August
Furthermore, with our 240 Year 6 students enrolling in September, we are currently liaising with Primary Schools and will look to organise individual meetings with families in July. We are looking to plan a double induction day in September.
I hope you understand that our main priority has to be the health and safety of students and staff. Whilst Covid-19 is still in the community, we have taken cautious measures to ensure that your child’s education can continue as much as possible from home or in socially distanced environments.
Thank you for your continued support during this difficult time.
