Coronavirus updates

Update 3^rd December

We have emailed relevant parents, but be aware that we are asking all year 7 students to work from home on Friday 3^rd December. Appropriate work will be set for all students on Google Classrooms, and we would encourage them to log in from Tutor time in the morning.

For parents/carers of children in year 7 who are key workers or who have children identified as vulnerable we will continue to provide onsite provision for your children tomorrow, when the rest of their year group are working remotely. There is a form for parents/carers to complete (below) which is available via our school website to book a place for your child.

Year 7 students accessing the one site provision as a key worker status or vulnerable child should come to the hall at the start of the day when the rest of their year group are working from home.

All other year groups (years 8 – 11) should attend school as normal.

COVID-19 School Attendance

Update 29 November 2021

You will no doubt be aware that a variation of Covid called Omicron is concerning Government, which means that guidance around wearing of masks has changed. In line with mandatory wearing of face coverings in places such as shops, Government has strongly recommended that secondary schools once again ask students and staff to wear masks in communal areas of school. We want to ensure we help stem the spread of Covid and we have made the decision to do just that. From today, we will require students and staff to wear masks when moving to and from lessons and in shared indoor spaces other than classrooms.We are speaking with students in class to explain the change in detail. This will not apply to those students with agreed exemptions. We will keep you informed of any further changes that we need to make as a school, and will also put updates on our website.

Update 1 November 2021

Due to high levels of Covid in Mid Devon please can we politely request that parents/carers or external visitors only enter our site or report to reception if they have a pre-booked appointment or have been contacted by a member of staff to collect their child.

Update 17 October 2021

We have written to parents about arrangements during the next week. Year 10 will be working from home Monday and Tuesday; Year 9 on Wednesday and Thursday; and Year 8 on Friday.

For keyworkers or those with children identified as vulnerable, students may still be able to come into school, so please login/register here ASAP:
