Remote Learning
Re-opening to Sixth Form Students - Tuesday 18 January 2022
We are in a position to re-open the school to students in Year 12 and Year 13 from tomorrow, Tuesday 18 January. All students take an LFD test tonight and only attend tomorrow if the result is negative. Any positive results should be reported to the NHS here and the school here.
As you may be aware, from Monday 17 January individuals with Covid-19 can end their self-isolation after 5 full days, as long as they test negative on day 5 and day 6. Further details are available here. In addition, West Berkshire Council have advised that today’s change can be applied retrospectively to those that are already isolating, providing day 5 of their isolation period is on or after Monday 17 January. Anyone reaching day 5 of their isolation prior to today should follow current guidance.
