Dear All,
There is much speculation about school closures, and when
put alongside the widespread apprehension about health, I recognise that this
is a very unsettling time for you all. Above all, I want to acknowledge how
difficult things are for you and to assure you that we will do everything we
can to support you over the coming months.
I want to confirm that the school will remain open until
such time as the government directs us to close, or until such time as staff
absence makes it impossible to keep the school open safely. If we move to a
partial closure, our priority will be to support students with public exams
this summer.
Hard as it may seem, I would encourage everyone to
continue to apply themselves with conviction to their studies, and in
circumstances where students or teachers are self-isolating or circumstances
where the school is closed, students should look to maintain contact with their
teachers via email and, most importantly, SMHW. This will be our main avenue for
sharing work throughout this period.
Unless your circumstances meet the criteria set out in
government guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response),you should continue to attend school. Of course, if you
are showing symptoms you should follow guidelines that have been established to
protect you and the wider community.
With very best wishes to you all.
Kind Regards,
Mr A Robbins
Head of Sixth Form
