Strike Action: plan for schooling – 15 and 16 March

Following our risk assessment to assess the impact of the strike action on our capacity to open the school, we can confirm the following:

Years 7 – 10

  • On both days Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 will remain at home to complete remote learning which is further detailed below.
  • We will be providing a small provision for our vulnerable learners on site where they will be supported to access the resources available to all learners described below.

Year 11

  • We will be open to Year 11 pupils. Year 11 will be required to attend school, in full uniform, on both days. Wednesday will run from 9:55 – 15:10 and Thursday from 9:55 – 14:10.
  • Year 11 pupils will attend normal lessons where possible, following their usual timetable. Where teachers are not available, they will be able to complete revision activities under the supervision of other colleagues in a centrally staffed location. Pupils should head to the Main Playground on their arrival to check the location of their lessons.

Sixth Form

  • Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth Form students may choose to either work independently at home or come into school from 8:55 am where supervised independent study will be available. Food is available, students will need to access this from the canteen.

The canteen will be open for all pupils and students on site throughout the day as usual on both days. If your child is entitled to Free School Meals we will be emailing out a voucher to eligible parents of pupils for those year groups who will not be in school.
