| General expectations and learner conduct |
- Our staff have the highest possible expectations of our learners. When they return, we want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, whilst acknowledging this is not “normal”. We are very confident that as a community, everyone will pull together to ensure we all take responsibility for ourselves and each other. If this happens, we are confident the environment at school will be productive, positive and most importantly, safe.
- A safety briefing will be given to all learners on their first time in the building.
