The School Day (second half of Summer Term 2021)
To accommodate the current DfE regulations, we have adapted the procedures within the school to enable social distancing of students from different Year Groups.
N.B. There are no plans at present to resume these arrangements in the Autumn Term, 2021

Face Masks
All students should bring with them to school a suitable face mask for use in indoor communal areas, such as corridors (unless they are exempt). They should also have a plastic bag in which they can hygienically store their face mask when it is not in use. A spare face mask (kept in a separate plastic bag) may also be advisable.
A statement from the DfE on the use of face masks (25.8.20) can be viewed here.
General guidance from the Government on wearing face masks (27.8.20) can be viewed here.
Below is a short video from the World Health Organisation on how to use a face mask:
