School Cover

Wednesday 13th December 2023

Our ability this week and next week to cover classes when teachers are unavailable is becoming challenging.  This is due to the time of year and in particular three factors,

1. we are experiencing a high level of staff absence due to seasonal illnesses and viruses
2. we are covering lots of Performing Arts classes to ‘free’ teachers to rehearse with cast members and performers for important school events
3. challenges around the availability of Supply Staff

All this means that we will not always be able to ‘replace’ an absent teacher with a like-for-like replacement.  We will, at times between now and the end of term, take measures to consolidate classes, e.g., bring two classes together into one group, or bring an entire year group together for special events and/or assemblies.

We thank-you in advance for your patience and support.
