Arrival at school
- Students will be allowed onto the school site from 7.45am

- Students will be able to access the canteen for food at the start of the day
Operational information
- Lessons: There will no longer be year group bubbles. Teaching staff will revert to teaching in their subject areas and students will move between lessons
- Face coverings: We will still want students to wear face coverings in the corridors until we have completed the full cycle of two x LFD testing during the first week. This is not mandatory. Students and staff can still wear a face covering in lessons if they wish.
- Lanyards: Students will be required to wear their year group lanyards
- Catering: There will be food available again in the morning. We will also have a satellite food offer for breaktime in the Main Hall - there will be a rota for two different year groups per day
- Uniform: Students will continue to wear PE kit to school if they have PE or extra curricular that day
- Lockers: Students must ensure that they have a padlock for their locker, as they will want to store their device in it if necessary at recess or lunchtime.
- Extra curricular: It is likely that it will take a week or two before we can commence extra curricular activities
- Assemblies: Virtual assemblies will remain in place until we have completed the full cycle of two x LFD testing during the first week
- Printing: Students will be able to use the printers in school
- School Policies: Can be accessed here
- Travel to and from school: Students should walk, cycle or get public transport to and from school where possible. Parents who are dropping or collecting their child should arrange a pick up point away from the school site, and be aware that local roads can be very busy at the start and end of the school day
