We are very much looking forward to welcoming students back to school this September.

To enable us to talk to all students in a safe and supportive way we have put in place an induction week.

Year 7 and 12 will be in school from Wednesday 2nd September and all other year groups will have a one hour induction session. The one hour sessions are very important for us to talk students through the new routines and procedures. Students are expected to attend in be in full uniform so that we check and support any issues before all students return full time on Monday 7th September. We will give students their planners and timetables so that they can plan for their full time start from Monday 7th September at 8.30am.

The induction times are as below:

Year 7	From Wednesday 2nd September	8:30am – 2:50pm
Year 8	Friday 4th September	1:10pm – 2:10pm
Year 9	Thursday 3rd September	8:50am – 9:50am
Year 10	Thursday 3rd September	12:10pm – 1:10pm
Year 11	Friday 4th September	9:00am – 10:00am
Year 12	Wednesday 2nd September (Thurs/Fri in school for introductory lessons)	8:30am – 11:00am
Year 13	Thursday 3rd September	1:50pm – 2:50pm

Please ensure your child looks at this video which will show the updated procedures and hopefully answer any questions that you may have.

The car park nearest the Wych Elm will be open for drop offs this week only.  From 7th September, when we have all students on site, the car park will remain locked and drop off will be from either the main car park or students are encouraged to walk/cycle to school.

FACE MASKS – Any student wishing to wear a face mask in corridors or communal areas should ensure that these are of plain design.  There should be no patterns or large logo’s on the face mask.  Students should ensure they know how to put on and remove their mask safely.  Masks should be removed in lesson and placed in a plastic bag in the students bag.  Masks will only be permitted if they are being worn responsibly.

I hope you have had a lovely summer break – we cannot wait to get safely back in school with you all.
