This means Year 8 and 9, who worked from home on Friday, can return to school. I will continue to monitor the situation; the risk to further disruption remains high given the rising Covid case rate (yet again). I will need to protect exam year groups Y10-13 and remaining staff first if we are in this situation again in coming days/weeks - so if we are in this position again it will be Y7-9 who may be affected. Please keep checking our website and social media for any updates. I will give as much notice as I possibly can if the situation changes. Thank you for your patience.
