Welcome
Summer Term 2022
This term we have celebrated student successes in our assemblies, with achievements in sports festivals, primary link mentoring and student voice partnership work. We were also very proud to see that three of our students won Somerset Pride of Youth Awards. Year 11 has been coping well with their exams and still managing to smile! We are now looking towards end of year assessments, sports day, work experience for Year 10 and welcoming Year 6 students for their transition days.
Please see our newsletters for further updates.
Covid Testing
The government has removed the legal requirement to self isolate following a positive test. However, students who test positive are advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to return to school. for at least three full days and then continue to follow the guidance until they have received two negative test results on consecutive days.
When to stay at home if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) and what to do – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Please report any Covid-19 absences on Class Charts or the attendance line: 01823 348201
