SCHOOL PICK UP/DROP OFFPlease use the main car park gates to drop off your child before 9:10am and for pick up after school.The office gate is only to be used if you need to drop off late ie after 9:10 am or pick up early from school.
A REMINDER FOR ALL FAMILIESStudents should not attend school if unwell, even with mild symptoms of COVID-19. Any person with any COVID-19 symptoms will be sent home and should not return until they have received a negative test result and are symptom-free. In circumstances where children have other medical reasons for recurrent symptoms a letter from their GP is sufficient to negate the requirement for a negative test.Anyone who is unwell with COVID-19 symptoms is strongly encouraged to get tested and self-isolate until a negative result is received.
