Dear Parents/carers

I hope you all had a good Christmas and apologies for interrupting the break with a further update. I am writing to inform you that as per the Secretary of State’s recent announcement, St Mary’s will now be open for the Spring term on the dates below for the following year groups:

Wednesday 6th - Friday 8th Jan: vulnerable pupils and those of key workers (no other year groups or pupils)

Week commencing Monday 11th Jan: Yr 11 pupils, vulnerable pupils and those of key workers

Week commencing Monday 18th Jan: for all pupils in all year groups.

*Please be aware that the above dates are subject to government review

Remote learning will be available for all year groups from Wed 6th Jan and can be found on the school website at For Students/Online Learning/Provision for Covid Related Absence.

We will also be preparing to deliver the government’s mass testing programme at St Mary’s and I will communicate further details on this with you in due course.

I look forward to when we have all pupils back at St Mary’s and I would like to wish you and your families a happy and healthy new year.

Best wishes

Stuart Wetson
