First day back arrangements

First Day Back Arrangements

The first day back for students is Thursday, 8^th September.   We will have only very limited access to the new school for a handful of key staff over the summer  as packing crates are moved, IT systems decanted then set up in their new locations and classrooms furnished.  Our builders, Galliford Try, hand the building over to us on Monday, 5^th September which gives staff three days to unpack crates, have training on how the systems in the new school work and do any snagging before students are welcomed to their new school. 

Arrangements for Thursday, 8^th of September

From 8am members of staff will be around the entrances to the school and in the corridors to show where each year group are to go. Things will be different for us all so it would be good if all students to be at school by 8:20am on the first day back.
