| | | From the Office | Environmentally friendly water dispensers
We are committed to playing our part in reducing our carbon footprint and creating good environmentally-friendly practices in our school community. We have recently installed new fresh water dispensers across all our schools and we are stopping our use of bottled water, which will save approximately 25,000 bottles a year – this is one tonne of plastic and will save 1.5 tonnes of carbon.
Please bring re-usable water bottles to school to use.
Important information about coronavirus (covid-19)
Public Health England have released additional advice for people returning from certain areas in Italy.
People who have returned from one of the ‘lock down’ areas in Northern Italy are told to self-isolate on their return to the UK, even if they have no symptoms. The two regions concerned are Lombardy (Milan) and Veneto (Venice). People returning from other areas north of, but not including Pisa, Florence and Rimini, should self-isolate if they develop symptoms.
Both should contact NHS 111 or visit the Public Health England website for more information. This website is updated periodically and should any advice change that affects our school, staff or pupils, we will let you know.
If you have any questions about our response to the Public Health England’s guidance, please contact Justin Spanswick, Executive Headteacher on 01628 327717.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops and, if appropriate, provide updates
Student Finance
Student finance for 2020/21 has officially opened for applications from students who will be starting university in September 2020. Student finance recommend students apply early as it can take up to 6 weeks for student finance to process the application. You can apply on the website here.
Students do not need to wait until they have a confirmed place at university to apply for finance. They can use their preferred choice and update it online later if necessary.
Here is a quick guide to student finance to help. Information on health courses and funding can be found at iseethedifference.co.uk which explains the recent changes to finance for health courses.
