Start of Autumn Term 2020 Arrangements
Dear Parents and Guardians All children in the UK are expected to be back at school in in September and we are expecting our boarders back on Sunday 6th September and day day children on on Monday 7th September Overseas pupils will be able to to quarantine at school prior to to the beginning of term if necessary Pre-Season training will take place for any children from Form 1 to Top Year on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th September Not only will this provide
a a a a a valuable training opportunity but a a a a a nice reintroduction to school Further information
will follow in early August The Distance Learning Programme at Abberley has been a resounding success but there is no substitute for children being at school interacting with their teachers and peers We will strive to ensure that school life will be ‘business as as as usual’ as as as far as as as we possibly can but we we will ensure that we we have a a a a system of controls and thorough risk assessments in place to minimise any risk of infection We will go above and beyond the the expectations of the the UK Government to ensure that our children enjoy being back at at school whilst staying safe We continue to take guidance from the UK Government and the World Health Organisation the the Boarding Schools Association (including the the BSA COVID Safe Charter) and to receive advice from the Malvern group of schools The following guidance has been produced in light of the Government’s recent guidance on the full reopening of schools published on 2nd July 2020 The following notes aim to provide
guidance as things stand at present but if this virus has taught us us anything it is the need to be flexible and adaptable when we have to be Guidance is fast-changing and we will write to you again in in early August with our comprehensive Back to School Guide During August there will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to join online meetings with members of the Senior Leadership Team to address any concerns or questions you may have Thank you you for your loyalty and commitment to the school during this term of Distance Learning I look forward to meeting you all in in September Best wishes
