Return to school 12th April 2021: Advice and Information
We look forward to welcoming back our whole school community on Monday the 12th April 2021 at 8.45am. There will be a student induction for 1st – TY students on their return. This will refamiliarize students with our school routines and provide an opportunity for them to ask questions or discuss the return to school with their teachers. There is always someone to help your son/daughter if they feel anxious about the return to school. Please encourage them to reach out to their teachers, tutor, year head, guidance counsellor or a trusted adult if they need support.
