## School Day

We will be following a new school day to try to keep in-line with the Government guidance. As with all the changes, this is a temporary measure that will be in place for at least the first half term; the end date will be determined by changes in Government guidance.

- Lunchtime
- We must keep bubble groups apart from one another at lunchtime. By having a split lunch, we can achieve this.

Catering: The canteen will still provide both hot and cold food at lunchtime which will be available for all students but will be served and eaten in different locations.

## Queues:

We expect students to observe social distancing when queuing to buy food.

- End of the School Day
- To minimise mixing of bubble groups, we will have a staggered end to the school day. Students are not permitted to wait for friends by the school gate, shops or any other congested area. They should avoid busy places as much as possible.
- The earliest students will be dismissed will be at 2.50pm and this will vary each day according to which lessons each class has e.g. if the class has PE or Food Science during period 5 they will not be dismissed early as time is very limited for practical activities.
