Dear Parents/Carers,

As the start of term for pupils and students next week approaches, please find this document which provides a reminder of the attendance schedule from Monday 06 September. This information can also be accessed via our social media channels, here: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

We return to School with different health and safety measures to those previously in place, in relation to Covid-19. In accordance with guidance from the Department for Education, and in consultation with University School Governors, please find an overview document attached which seeks to summarise our expectations and control measures to promote wellbeing. As we have across the pandemic to date, we shall remain responsive and agile to the need for any future changes.

The full risk assessment can be accessed here.

As we enter next week and undertake our schedule of onsite Covid-19 lateral flow testing, please be aware that we can only offer testing with your consent – which requires the submission of your permission. Where this has not yet been provided by you, we shall be sending a separate correspondence to you. Whilst testing is encouraged, it is not mandatory for the return to School.

I take this opportunity to express my hope that you and your family have enjoyed the summer holiday period, and that we look forward to welcoming University School pupils and students next week.

Kind regards,

Colin Townsend

Principal
