Latest news - 21st May 2020 - Year 12 - Return to School Arrangements

Dear Parents of Year 12,

The leadership team at BSCA have been planning for the return of Year 12 after half term from 8th June.

We have included a survey for you to complete by 9am Monday 25th May to indicate whether you are planning for your Year 12 child to return for the final few weeks of this academic year - https://forms.gle/PCoiUYcqjPaFdq3CA .

To inform your decision making on the return to school, I would like to share with you my thoughts on how the school experience will be different during covid19 and the need for social distancing.

For Year 12, the plan is to have students in for each of their subjects 3 times for a period of 3 hours in one day over the half term. The majority of Year 12 students study 3 subjects and a resit, so this means they would be in school 4 times over a period of two weeks.

For example.

Monday – study at home

Tuesday – 9am to 12noon SUBJECT 1

Wednesday – study at home

Thursday – 9am to 12noon SUBJECT 2

Friday – study at home

Monday – study at home

Tuesday – study at home

Wednesday – study at home

Thursday – 9am to 12noon SUBJECT 3

Friday – 9am to 12 noon SUBJECT 4

The lesson would be in a 'bubble' with one teacher and with the same students in the same room. It would start at 9am and end at 12 noon. Students will be taught new material and also have the opportunity for a socially distanced 1 to 1 time with their teacher to review any work done through lockdown.

During this 3 hour period, students would take a break in the room and would need to take snacks with them - no food and drinks will be available on site.

Government guidance has recently changed, and we would like to remind you not to send your child into school if:

  • your child, or anyone in the same household, shows signs of any of the main symptoms
  • your child, or anyone in the same household, is clinically extremely vulnerable.

Please remember your MUST complete this short survey by 9am Monday 25th May to let us know if your child will be attending https://forms.gle/PCoiUYcqjPaFdq3CA. Your child will not be able to just turn up on the day if we aren't already aware that they are attending.

We will be in touch with the details of which subject will run on which day when we have the full information on student and teacher attendance.

If you have any questions, please email contact@boltonstcatherinesacademy.org.uk or ring on 01204 332533.

Take care, and keep safe.

Kind Regards,

Rachael Lucas

Headteacher
