COVID-19

Please see guidance here

The school will inform parents in writing as soon as possible.

Those students whose doctors have confirmed they are still clinically extremely vulnerable are advised not to attend school.

If a student lives with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable, but who is not clinically extremely vulnerable themselves, they should still come to school.

The definition of CEV can be found here.

From 17 May 2021, students will no longer have to wear face masks anywhere in school. You will understand that this guidance may change if there is a local outbreak.

Students will, however, still be required to wear masks when using public transport and in shops, so the advice is that they always carry a mask with them.

If parents/carers do need to visit the school, they will also be required to wear masks.

With regard to coaches, until further guidance is provided, those students who take the coach to school will need to follow all current protocols in place and wear face coverings on the coaches.

Our staff are also not required to wear face coverings in the classroom but will continue to wear them in communal areas.

The list of communal areas in the school include, but is not limited to, the following:

1. All corridors
2. Main Hall
3. Atrium (unless eating)
4. Dining Hall (unless eating)
5. Staff Dining Room (unless eating)
6. Drama Studios (unless teaching Drama)
7. Sports Hall (unless teaching Sport)
8. Staff Room (unless eating)
9. Wellbeing Room

Please email Office at: office@swps.org.uk.

All students are still required to attend school. If any student is required to self-isolate, or is Clinically Extremely Vulnerable, then they will join their classes via Teams and follow their lessons remotely unless they feel unwell.

Please remember that if your child feels unwell, and particularly if they exhibit symptoms of COVID-19, they must remain at home and take a COVID test.

All co-curricular activities will proceed in line with the published programme. For example PE, Sports, Music and Drama are able to continue as per the arrangements that have been in place since September. This includes weekend sport because this is fundamental to our School’s core educational provision.

Rehearsals for music concerts and drama performances are going ahead. As we are not able to have live audiences at school in person, we intend to “live stream” these events to you.

Yes, and will finish at 4.50 pm.
