This morning we completed a dynamic risk assessment to assess the impact of the strike action on our capacity to open the school.
Due to the volume of staff who have withdrawn their labour today, we need to close the school to all pupils in Years 7-11. Year 11 Brune Park students who are involved in the GCSE Food & Nutrition Examination will attend school at the usual time
We recognise the potential disruption to you and your child’s education this may cause.
Brune Park Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth Form students may choose to either work independently at home or come into school from 10.00am where supervised independent study provision will be available in the library at Brune Park.
For those learners in receipt of Free School Meals, a voucher will be emailed to the relevant families.
Pupils in Years 7-11 are encouraged to use their existing Google Classroom resources for revision, along with their exercise books, folders and the online work described below to review and extend their learning so far this term:
