Year 9 Students are now learning from home again due to a shortage of staff.
Bridlington School Headteacher, Kate Parker-Randall made the announcement in a letter to parents on Monday, saying:
"As COVID-19 continues to affect our community, this afternoon I initiated the school’s COVID-19 contingency plan. The Year 9 group is to be stood down and revert to home learning for four full working days (Tuesday, 15th, Wednesday 16th, Thursday 17th and Friday 18th March 2022.) Year 9 students will return to school on Monday 21st March.
We have had to take this very difficult decision because we have a number of our school staff who are either self-isolating, are ill themselves or are waiting for COVID-19 test results. This means we do not have enough teachers and staff in school to be able to offer all year groups classroom teaching. This is a very difficult decision that has been made after a great deal of consideration and in consultation with
governors and the local authority in the interest of keeping your child as safe as possible whilst they continue to learn.I would like to reassure you that our school is very careful to make sure everyone follows current government and local authority guidance including enhanced cleaning, good respiratory and hand hygiene, and ensuring rooms are well ventilated. Despite this, our staffing levels have reached a point that it is not possible to have all our students in school. This is a short-term measure until staffing levels increase, the number of staff able to attend school changes every day and we are keeping a close watch on the situation"
Year 9 students are now being told to follow their normal timetable at home with work being set for each subject on Class Charts as per their timetable. Lessons will be on-demand with a form of directed teacher instruction where possible, this will be recorded using a platform such as Loom. To supplement this, students can use their home learning booklets accessed via the school website.
