  • Pop Up

[The pop ups have] enabled us to keep within the DfE guidelines and keep staff and students separate, and consequently better protected from the virus. These additional spaces have also meant that we could keep to our timetable – operating breaks and lunchtimes at the same time as previously, rather than a loss of timetabled learning time. We are very happy with them and I know both Heads wish we could keep them for ever!
