Message for all students - Sixth Form Closure - 24th March 2020

Dear all

I hope that you are well and adapting to the new way of working.  These are very strange times, and it is really important that we follow the rules set by the Government and keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.

Yesterday the Government significantly changed their advice on 'social distancing'.  They are now recommending that everyone remain in their home and only go out

• for one form of exercise per day (walking, running, cycling) alone or with people they live with
• to attend work if it is impossible to work from home
• to attend medical appointments
• to buy food

The reason for this is to limit the number of people we all come into contact with to protect everyone from Coronavirus.  It is important that anyone who does leave the  house stays at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from others.  Advice on washing hands regularly is still very important.

In line with Government requests to limit social contact, Longley Park Sixth Form will be closed completely from 1.30 today until further notice.  However, students in urgent need of support can access facilities at one of the Academies in our Trust:

Hinde House Primary Phase, Bracken Road, Sheffield, S5 6FH . 

Please note that you should only access these facilities if you are unable to remain at home safely. 

I know that we are all missing friends and colleagues at the moment.  Make sure that you keep safe and well and keep in touch with teachers through Cedar and Google. 

With very best wishes

Mo

Principal, Longley Park Sixth Form
