Parent, Carer Letter - 17.12.2020 - Return to School from January 2021

17^th December 2020 

 

Dear Parent/Carer, 

Return to school from January 2021 

The government have today announced that there will be a staggered return to school after the Christmas break. 

Students in year 11 and 13, vulnerable children and children of critical workers will all attend school or college in person from the start of term on Monday 4^th January 2021. Information on critical workers can be found via this weblink-

Critical workers and vulnerable children who can access schools or educational settings - GOV.UK All pupils in full-time education. Schools and colleges welcomed back all children and young people from the start of the autumn term. It is vital that children and young people remain in school ... www.gov.uk

 

Vocational exams scheduled for the week of 4^th January will go ahead as planned. 

All other year groups will access full-time remote education, as close as possible to that which students would get in class, during the first week of term from Monday 4^th January - Friday 8^th January. It is likely this provision will be a blend of Class Charts tasks and Microsoft Teams live lessons.  We will communicate further details on this nearer to the start of the new term together with information on how to access support with technology in the home if required. 

All students will be expected to return to school for face-to-face education on Monday 11th January. 

Can I take the opportunity to again wish you all a very happy and holy Christmas and thank you once more for your support. 

 

Dr J Coughlan
