Please note: Breakfast Club will not be available as Year Group Bubbles cannot mix.
Students must assemble on the playground at the start of the day and line up in Form Groups to ensure a calm and socially distant entrance to the Academy.
Afterschool clubs will not be available in the first few weeks of term. Our extra-curricular provision is still being finalised.
