I published a video on Monday outlining that we would be welcoming students back to face-to-face education in the week beginning the 8th March. Governmental guidance has changed on this over the course of this week. However, we are now in a position to confirm how we will approach the return to school in more detail.
Mr Bird is very excited about welcoming all of our students back into the Academy on the week beginning 8th March.
Mr Bird’s Half Term message
Mr Bird has been talking to BBC Radio Cumbria about the recent school closure.
This is the end of our fourth week in lockdown and our students are continuing to make good progress through their on line learning.
During each student’s period of remote learning we’ll be holding daily tutor sessions for them from 08.40 each day, on Microsoft Teams.

You may well be aware that this evening the Secretary of State for Education has announced a material change to the arrangements made for the start of term.
The Government yesterday afternoon updated its guidance regarding the start of term in January and has advised that secondary schools in England should not fully re-open to all students and staff following the Christmas holidays until Monday 11 January.
Please be advised that we have had a further confirmed case of Covid-19 in year 11.
