Teaching starts Monday 14th September 2020 In line with the latest government guidance, we are eager to return to delivering education on site to all students from September. We have developed different models to respond to the different possible circumstances in September including full on site delivery and a blended model combining on site teaching and remote learning. We will email students and parents/carer at the start of September to confirm the arrangements we will be putting in place. Having only one year group for the first year, we are in an enviable position of being able to provide a safe and fully functioning learning environment for all our students and staff.
