Covid19

Jan 2022

4th January 2022Mr M Tate

As we start a New Year  I would like to extend my thanks to all parents and carers for your support over the past 12 months and particularly over the last few days. Children have shown fantastic resilience, dealing with everything that has happened amazingly well.We should all be extremely proud of how they have dealt with the ever changing expectations and environments.

As you are aware the continued increase in Covid19 across the country has meant that schools have been asked to make further changes including wearing masks in communal areas. We have now been asked to:

  • Encourage students to wear masks in ALL areas
  • Test students prior to their return in January
  • Encourage all visitors to use a Lateral Flow test before coming to site
  • Continue to encourage staff and students to use lateral flow test twice weekly please register this via  (https://testregister.co.uk/login)

To allow testing before returning to lessons we are staggering the start of term in January.
Testing In School

3 January Bank holiday
4 January Year 11 and 6th form No students in school
5 January All year groups No students in school
6 January All year groups Year 11 and 6th form

Covid Closure

4th January 2021Mr M Tate

This is an incredible difficult and unprecedented time for everybody. As a school we have closed for the majority of students. The closure is in place to try and reduce the transmission of the virus and therefore help the NHS to manage and reduce the number of deaths. It is vital that we do our bit and follow this guidance.

During this period we have in place a full timetable of live online lessons. Children must attend these lessons.

We have adapted the times of these lessons to help students have screen breaks. For more details please see our Remote Learning Policy Link

Children of Critical workers

The school is providing a safe place for children of key workers to access their remote learning. To request a place please use this form and we will contact you to confirm: Form

Vulnerable Children

The government has outlined a list of vulnerable children the key categories for this are:

  1. Children with an EHCP or significant SEN need
  2. Children in care
  3. Children with services
  4. Otherwise categorised by the school or other agency as vulnerable
  5. Children who are unable to access remote learning

We are providing a full taught curriculum for categories 1 – 4 and expect these children to attend school. For children in category 5 we are supporting children on an individual basis.

Off line work
We are not providing offline work as it is not possible to provide good enough quality work to ensure progress. We will instead work with you to resolve ICT issues and if necessary students can attend school to access their remote learning.

Please contact your child’s year leader if you are having issues.

Contingency Planning

6th October 2020Mr M Tate

Although we are hoping that there will not be another lock down. We are aware that there may well be a local lock down. We have put in place plans to ensure that if this were to happen education could continue as far as normal.

In the event of a lock down:

  • Lessons will continue in line with the normal timetable
  • All lessons will be available live online and as catch up later
  • Students will be expected to access lessons 9 – 3

We have:

  • Trained students in how to access Google Classroom
  • Trained staff and have already started delivering lessons online
  • Acquired a number of laptops to support students without

If your child is self isolating and well they should access learning online via google classrooms

Any issues please email mortonc@hartdown.org

Get the track and trace app

24th September 2020Mr M Tate

One of the ways we can keep people safe and keep the school open is by downloading the track and trace app.

This uses apple/google technology to protect your privacy whilst giving enough information to inform the NHS of what is happening in the community.

(it is only accessible to over 16s)
