Today has been our first day of online learning for the whole Academy, and the teaching staff have been so impressed by the majority of students who have accessed and engaged with their learning, participated in live lessons, and asked some truly great questions that inspire everyone to think big!
Over the weekend we have received notification of multiple COVID positive cases resulting in large numbers of students and staff needing to self-isolate. This means that we have now reached the point where we have insufficient staff to safely open and run the Academy. After careful consultation with the Local Authority and Public Health, and with the safety of the Academy community being our absolute priority, we have decided to close the Academy for one week.
Further to Mr Arnull’s announcement about the decision to send Year 11 home for a period of time, I am writing to answer some of the questions you may have about self-isolation and remote learning.
We have been advised of a number of positive Year 11 Coronavirus cases over this week. As safety is paramount, we have made the unfortunate decision to close the Academy to students in Year 11 from today as a precautionary measure. This decision has been made with the full support of the Local Authority. All teaching and communal spaces undergo regular, thorough cleaning, but Year 11 teaching spaces will be further deep cleaned during this period as an additional measure.
