In a letter sent this afternoon (October 8) the Principal wrote:

"We have been advised by Public Health England that there have been two confirmed cases of COVID-19 within the college. We are continuing to monitor the situation.....

Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.

" The college remains open and, providing your child remains well, they can continue to attend school as normal. We will keep this under review."
