Thank you for your support during this period of lockdown, and in particular for the many positive messages received about the work of our staff across the three academies. I pay tribute to all of our staff who are providing quality distance learning resources while maintaining contact with you and your children. Our teams have also been working very hard to support children, including those of key workers who are continuing to come into the Academy.

You will be aware from the news that the Government has announced the phased reopening for schools and academies from 1st June 2020. In Sandwell, we have been looking at how this will be achieved and have worked with our schools and academies to agree a common approach. Schools and academies have reviewed the requirements for social distancing, hygiene and cleaning required daily as well as organisational changes they may need to make to the academic day to open.
