Following the Government announcement on Wednesday evening we will close at the end of the school day on Friday 20 March. On Monday 23 March through to lunchtime on Wednesday 25 March remote learning will take place using the methods our boys have been shown this week and teachers will undertake further training. Our Easter holidays are from lunchtime on Wednesday 25 March through to 15 April. We do not anticipate schools reopening until June at the earliest and are planning accordingly. Our pupils should be ready to resume online study on the first day of term 16 April.

‘The last week has seen considerable strength within the school community – a common mission to make the best of extraordinary circumstances. Always looking to the positives, boys will have to learn to work with greater independence, managing their time effectively with self-discipline. We also hope they will play a positive part in their households and local community: a difficult time for all. The school will be here to support, albeit remotely! We would like to thank all our parents and our hard-working members of staff for their continued efforts during this turbulent time.’  Mike Piercy
