Dear Parents/Carers,

We are now awaiting the Government's announcement on Sunday to ascertain when schools will be told they can re-open and any further guidance on how that re-opening might look.

Our Senior Leadership Team is currently working on a variety of plans and strategies in anticipation, taking into account aspects such as which year groups should come in first, will transport be available and TfGM's plans for social distancing, the temporary timetable and above all, the health and safety of our students and staff.

Once schools re-open, the 'format' will look different from one school to another, mainly because staffing may not be at full capacity. There may be a mixture of online learning and classroom teaching to ensure we can observe social distancing measures in school at all times.

We will be hopefully be able to firm up our plans over the coming weeks and we will of course ensure you are fully informed at all times.

I hope you enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend with your family.

Kind regards

Kim Earle
