FROM THE OFFICE
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.

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.

Thursday 5 March - Year 7 and Year 8 Drugs Awareness Talk
Bob Tait from Drug Education UK will be coming in to address our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils on Thursday 5 March, covering topics such as smoking and vaping, drinking, peer-pressure, drug awareness, grooming and the law. Please find the letter here.

Tuesday 10 March - Sports Team/Year 11 Group Class Photo
All girls who play in a school sports team please bring in their team kit.
Year 11 group class photo also taking place - full school uniform and tidy hair required!

Friday 13 March - Just Dance Competition
Help us to raise some money in aid of Sport Relief - payment of £1 to be paid via the Payment Portal.  Please find the link to information here. Thanking you in advance.
