Students & Staff to Wear Masks in Classrooms

After much discussion we have determined that as of Thursday 14th January all staff and students will be required to wear a mask in all communal indoor areas including classrooms.

This difficult decision has been reached after considering the rise of transmission rates of the new variant of Covid19. There is increased evidence that young people are more likely to be able to transmit the new variant and therefore stronger safety measures have to be enforced. Thank you for your support.
