Lessons to resume Monday 23 November

Posted: November 20, 2020


The Premier has announced that schools and preschools will reopen to all students on Monday 23 November. As a result, our school will be open and operating as normal. As the Chief Public Health Officer said, just because the hard lockdown is being lifted does not mean that the risks associated with COVID-19 have passed. As a result, we will minimise the number of people coming and going from our two campuses. More information on our planned events will be made available as we receive further advice from DfE. Thank you very much for your support over the last couple of days. We look forward to resuming our regular lessons on Monday.
