Our Critical Worker and At Risk Student Provision is open, each school day 8.45am – 3.10pm. Currently, we have set up two temporary classes: Believe and Achieve. They have formed two new ‘bubbles’ during this lockdown period.
As the students are of differing abilities and ages, the mornings will mirror the remote learning all our other students are receiving through Zoom based live streamed lessons. Staff will be supervising, supporting and helping the students stream their bespoke lessons.
The Zoom lessons have been scheduled around the child’s original timetable so we prevent disturbances to the planned curriculum, planned schemes of work and reduce potential further learning gaps. This also enables our school to provide the required differentiation for the child’s individual learning needs and appropriate challenge.

LATERAL FLOW – MASS TESTING
Staff working onsite are tested weekly each morning. We have now tested all of our staff and this will continue weekly during lockdown.
We will start testing students from Monday 11th January 2021 in the Critical Worker / at Risk Provision classes Believe & Achieve.
Only those with consent will be tested. During Lockdown we will test the students on a weekly basis to enhance our levels of safety. Our trained staff will be conducting the tests with the students to ensure it is someone that is familiar with your child and understands their SEND needs.
