Following recent government announcements, the school is preparing to reopen its premises to pupils in eligible year groups from the 2^nd June. Parents and staff are receiving regular communications about this. The reopening of school premises will only go ahead if the government confirms that it is safe to do so. We are closely monitoring all government announcements and will implement safety measures as per the government guidelines.

We are very hopeful and eager that our premises will reopen fully in September. We are monitoring all government announcements closely and will communicate all relevant information to parents as soon as it becomes available.
