Once again this year we have celebrated a different kind of Lent in our College Community due to the restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Next week, Holy Week is the most important weeks in our Christian Calendar.
Dear Families
I hope you are all well. I am writing to give you an update as we enter the third week of our return to full face to face teaching.
It has been very pleasing to see how all year groups have settled back in so the school routines and study habits. For Y11 and Y13 this is a particularly important period as we prepare for teacher assessed grades for this year’s GCSEs and A-Levels.
Before we came back the drama department ran a competition which invited year 7 pupils to create their own silent movies!
We had lots of excellent entries and we have been able to narrow it down to 4 winners - David Buttery, Rosa Turk, Libbie Lefebvre and Lily Garnett.
We also awarded 4 runners up - Keagan Harwood, Michael Kinealy, Amelie Stirrett and Lucas Samuel.
Well done everyone!
Dear Families
Up to one in three people who have COVID-19 can spread the virus without knowing. This is because they have no symptoms. To reduce the spread of the virus, we need to identify those individuals. We can do this in college by carrying out tests at home twice every week, 3-4 days apart.
The Government has recently announced that all secondary and college aged students will be offered tests to make the return to college safer for everyone.
Dear parents, carers, Year 11 and Year 13 pupils
I am very much aware that you have many questions regarding the awarding of grades for GCSEs and A Levels in Summer 2021. Please find below the answers to some FAQs which I hope you will find helpful.
