Headmaster's Message

Message From The Headmaster

As we come to the end of a very busy half term dominated by assessments, particularly for Year 11 and the Upper Sixth, I would like to thank you again for your continued support.

Looking ahead, we are very hopeful that the “un-lockdown” arrangements will go ahead in line with the Government’s road map. We are expecting that we will get further guidance on this from the Department for Education around 15 June and will of course update you of any changes as a result.

Please can I ask that you maintain the lateral flow home-testing and reporting arrangements over half term; these are a key part of our strategy to keep the school community as safe as possible. If you have a positive lateral flow test this coming weekend, please can you also email Mrs Sharpe  directly, so that we can perform the necessary track and trace procedures.

As we move into the final half term of the year, I would like to remind you that holidays should not be booked in term time and we will not be able to authorise any such absence. If you were not able to read my letter to parents with key messages that was sent last week, please see a copy here along with the IT Ten Top Tips for Parents document - I would ask you to go through it please.

I hope you all have a good half term break and the weather is kind us all.

Very best wishes

Ed Hester
