School Open: Tuesday 7 January 2025

Dear Parents/Carers and Students,

As promised I want to let you know that I have made the decision to open this morning having considered a range of factors that are very important including the state of the main roads, transport, the site and staffing.

• The main roads are clear

• Buses are running

• Site is safe following incredibly hard work yesterday and this morning

• Few staffing issues reported

We are expecting students to be here for 10.30am. At that time KS3 students will have break then go to tutor. KS4 and KS5 students will immediately go to tutor and then have break. Lessons will begin Period 3. 

Given the unique circumstances today we will adopt a different approach to our uniform policy, specifically footwear in the interests of safety. Therefore, students will be allowed to wear walking shoes or trainers. School shoes are of course also welcome. 

Thank you for your patience and support yesterday and again this morning.

Mr Wade, Headteacher
