Welcome to Oulder Hill Community School

Following last week’s home-school communication the government has as expected announced that masks are no longer legally compulsory for pupils in schools. Along with everyone else we look forward to the time when they are no longer necessary at all for any of us in any situation. However, we are clearly not out of the woods yet and there are variants still emerging that we need to be mindful of and we need to continue to protect ourselves and our families. With this in mind and the fact that we have many staff and pupils who are still clinically vulnerable but in our building, we have reviewed our Risk Assessment and taken the decision to allow students and staff in classrooms the flexibility to chose to wear a mask. However, with our corridors being so busy with potentially 1500 moving at certain times, we feel it is important to keep everyone as safe as we can by maintaining mask wearing eg on stairs and in lunch queues where social distancing is not possible. Therefore we will continue to expect students to wear masks on corridors but not in lessons. Please can parents and carers continue to support us all by ensuring your child still has a mask as part of their essential equipment for school. Thank you for helping us to keep everyone safe. John Watson, Head teacher.
