Covid-19 Safety Measures
Please note: the school is currently operating different entrances, bubbles and zones for each year group, and social distancing as part of our Covid-19 safety measures.
For more information about covid-19 measures, including the staggered timing of the school day on the first day students return (7th or 8th September) please read this letter.

We have created ‘bubbles’ to further support social distancing. Each ‘bubble’ consists of a year group.
Lower School students will remain in these bubbles for all lessons, break and lunchtimes. Students will work in year group areas to reduce their interaction with other students, they will have a designated ‘Home Room’ where all of their lessons will take place. Whilst in Home Rooms, students will stay in the same seat. They will have ready access to cleaning materials to help them to maintain our already very high standards.
Upper School students will remain in these bubbles for their break and lunchtimes. Students will work in year group areas to reduce their interaction with other students, they will have a designated ‘Home Room’ where most of their lessons will take place. Year 10 and Year 11 will move to other areas in the school to study subjects such as Art and Music, which require specialist equipment and workspaces at GCSE. Students will be escorted around the building to ensure that they are able to limit interaction with other year groups in order to keep them safe and minimise cross contamination between ‘bubbles’. Whilst in Home Rooms, students will stay in the same seat. They will have ready access to cleaning materials to help them to maintain our already very high standards.
Year Group Zones have been organised so that students remain in an area of the school that is not used by other year’s groups. Student ‘Home Rooms’ will be in these areas. In addition the outdoor space has been zoned so that students from different year groups do not mix with students from outside of their ‘bubble’.
