Ashford School – Covid-19 Reopening Update:
We are currently open for our three Nurseries, Reception, Years 1, 2 and 6 children and we intend to welcome back our other Prep School children on the following dates:
- Year 4 – Monday 29 June – Wednesday 1 July
- Year 5 – Thursday 2 July – Monday 6 July
- Year 3 – Tuesday 7 July – Thursday 9 July
We have also started offering sessions for our Year 10 and 12 children on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and our focus for all other years groups is very much on our Online Learning; however, we are exploring how we might bring more year groups back to School before the end of the summer term.
For September 2020, we are currently planning for two scenarios.
- 1) That the School will reopen fully, and that we will provide all our lessons, in class, as usual.
- 2) That the School will partially reopen, and that we will have to offer a blended curriculum of in-class and online lessons. While we are very keen to reopen to all pupils as soon as we possibly can, our decision will be led by Government guidelines and how best we can keep our pupils and staff safe.
