There is also a possibility that the Engineering and Construction classes could be called in – TBC.

All pupils and staff will be expected to adhere to 2m social distancing, wear a mask at all times and follow hand-washing/sanitising procedures while in attendance, with the exception of those who are exempt.

School lunches will be available or packed lunches can be brought in.  Pupils will not be able to go to the High St and return for lunch.

Pupils currently in classrooms – primarily the children of key workers and those considered vulnerable – will retain their places.
