Gates are open from 8.15am and the academy day starts at 8.30am prompt.  Students should refer to their postcard for their form e.g. 7S. This will ensure the entrance gate doesn’t get backlogged. If parents could ensure that they do not walk to the standards gate with their child to ensure we are following social distancing rules and that children are not crossing bubbles.
