Coronavirus

COVID-19 INFORMATION UPDATE

The safe return to school of all our pupils in September is clearly a priority and we have a very detailed plan in place to ensure it meets the evolving regulations. The health, safety and well-being of our community are at the forefront of all our plans.

Our Risk Assessment is available to view so that all members of the School Community are fully informed about the measures we have in place. All measures are, of course, in line with the Boarding Schools’ Association Covid-safe Charter.

Research suggests that children are less likely than adults to catch the virus, pass it on or fall seriously ill because of it. Returning to school is vital for children’s education and well-being and the measures we are putting in place minimise risk. We are really looking forward to having the girls back on site in September.
