CHANGE TO COVID MEASURES IN SCHOOLS
Welsh Government wrote to schools last week informing us of some impending changes in relation to the coronavirus public health advice for schools. This will bring schools into line with the rest of society with face coverings no longer required by school staff and secondary school pupils when moving around buildings and in communal areas from Monday the 9th of May 2022.
Pupils and staff who will still wish to wear a face covering will be fully supported to do so.
Other measures such as regular hand washing / sanitising, ventilation and the ‘one way’ system will continue to stay in place.

YEAR 9 OPTIONS
The GCSE option columns are available for your child to make their final GCSE choices. We have succeeded in securing all 3 choices for 91% of year 9 pupils. In order to finalise your child’s option choices, we ask them and you to complete a ‘FORM’, which is available in the year 9 ‘Team’ from 18:30 on Tuesday 03.05.2022 and will close at 21:00 on Friday 06.05.2022. You will only be able to complete the ‘FORM’ once, so it is important that you consider and choose carefully.
Some subjects will appear in several columns where some only appear in one column, so it is important that you consider everything in each column before making your final choices. Please note, Art and Design and Art and Textiles are both taught within the Art option.

COVID MEASURES IN SCHOOLS UNTIL EASTER
Following the Welsh Government’s announcement today of changes to Covid measures for the general population, see the important message below from Swansea’s Director for Education confirming that there will be no changes to Covid safety measures in schools in Swansea until Easter:
Local authority advice on control measures for risk infection in schools remains until the end of term.
Following this week’s meeting of the local Incident Management Team schools are advised to remain at HIGH on the Welsh Government’s Framework until the end of term.
As soon as we have a further update from the Welsh Government, especially on the wearing of face masks, twice weekly-testing and the current self-isolation period following a positive LFT test, we will write to you again.
Control measures in schools will remain the same until after Easter, at least
