Dear Parents and Guardians,
Update regarding the use of Face Coverings
I am writing to ask for your support in this matter. It has been agreed that, from Monday 21st September, the below requests are followed to reduce the current transmission rates:
- All adults and pupils wear face coverings in all communal areas in Secondary schools will be mandatory (except for those with an exception).
- Young people avoid congregating outside school and mixing with other schools and go directly home.
- Ensure your household adheres to self-isolation rules.School must be kept fully informed regarding all pupil absence and updated on a daily basis.This includes pupils self-isolating and awaiting test results.
- Those traveling on dedicated school transport adhere to the mandatory wearing of face coverings that applies to public transport.
The guidance applies to secondary pupils as outlined in the DfE Guidance on face coverings in schools.
Another useful guide from the NHS titled a ‘Quick Guide for Absence’ can be found below, as can our protocol for wearing face coverings within the school.
Unfortunately, at this time we cannot welcome visitors on to School Site for planned appointments or to pick up and drop off children.
We will keep you up to date via our website and social media platforms. Please continue to work with us and support us in this change to further protect our community.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Amanda Ryan
Principal
