This is as a result of the red weather warning.

Staff will post work for pupils for each written lesson onto their Google Classrooms before the usual lesson time. Pupils should work from this throughout the day.

I apologise for the short notice though I am sure you understand the safety implications for pupils and the request from the local authority.

We recommend that pupils may choose to wear one in any busy communal areas, but this will be optional as our corridors are ventilated, a one-way system is in operation and any passing is done briefly and is therefore considered as low-risk. However, pupils taking school or public transport must continue to wear masks for their journeys.
