We have now collated the data from the parent survey and it would appear that our numbers of Key Worker and Vulnerable children will be significantly greater than anticipated (60 children and rising).
Interesting! My secondary school went down to just one pupil before the VE day weekend. After sending out more reminders to parents, it went back up to 8 and, yesterday, 11 pupils. Still a far cry from the usual 1650 though!
Our head also sent this update to us all this morning. Work packs are used for pupils without Internet access at home.
Work packs look like they will now be used until the end of the academic year, so could staff who feel they are able to do some work on them please contact their Subject Leader so that they can share out some of the tasks.
Finally, and perhaps the most important notice, the government still has not published the 'models' and 'further guidance' for secondary schools that they told us they would be publishing. Anything that you read in the press, or see online, is based on the documents that have been released for primary schools.
I'd like to reassure you all, once the government does release its guidance for secondary schools we will consult with you all about our plans and make sure everything is centered on the health and safety of our pupils and our staff. We are not expecting the guidance for Year 10 and Year 12 pupils to look like the primary guidance. I will, of course, give you more information about this as soon as I have it.
