It remains the case that in the unique circumstances of this year we will once again need to stagger the first day of attendance across year groups reaching a point of full attendance by Thursday 2nd September. It will be important that from both a boarding and day student perspective we have a small amount of time to test our procedures and protocols to ensure a prompt and full return for all. Final details of this first week of re-opening are set out below. In the interim work continues to ensure we will be ready to reopen promptly and effectively for all.
We will continue to comply with Government Guidelines at all times in our re-opening.
This may include quarantine requirements for those returning to Ireland from other Countries.
