If a confirmed case of Coronavirus (COVID-19) is identified, we will be in contact with you. Face coverings/masks supplied by you are required by everyone entering and moving around the School (unless you are exempt from wearing one) in common areas such as corridors and toilets. Please keep to the left whilst walking along the corridors.
We will be running classes with smaller numbers to manage social distancing. Hand sanitiser will be available to use in the classrooms. Disinfectant wipes will be available in each classroom to wipe down desks before and after use. Please leave promptly after the course has finished.
