Return to school at Sacred Heart

In the last 3 weeks, many interventions have been made in preparing the school for reopening. We are looking forward to seeing all our students and staff return. Here are some of the things that you can expect on your return.

Physical distancing has been enhanced throughout the school where practicable.

Lockers and double tables have been removed from all classes to create space.

Students will be timetabled for most of their subjects in a base classroom (except for specialist subjects such as Science,PE,.Technology/Music/Home Economics etc)

Students seats have been placed 1 m apart.

Floor signage highlights the one way systems and where you should walk as you make your way to class.

Seat markings indicate where you can sit.

An outside “Picnic Coutyard” is in place to accomodate “ Al Fresco” dining.

Monring Breaks and Lunch Breaks are split which reduces the number of students and staff on their breaks by 50%.

A cashless payment system for our canteen will eliminate the need for exchanging money.

Toilet cubicles will be fitted with a smart system to indicate to students outside the toilet door which cubicles are busy and which cubicles are free.

Students will depart the building at the last class of the day in a staggered manner to reduce congestion.

These measures are in addition to the provision of sanitiser, Covid signage and advice to all members of the school community on mitigating the risk of introducing or spreading Covid 19 while in school.
