COVID 19 UPDATE

28 November 2021

Dear Parent

Information for all education and childcare settings on new measures in response to the identification of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the UK

On Saturday 27 November, the Prime Minister announced new temporary measures following the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the UK.

The new measures will be introduced as a precaution to slow down the spread of the variant while we gather more information. We will continue to keep this under review as the situation develops and if case numbers in school increase, we will look at implementing further measures.

Face coverings

As of Monday 29 November 2021, Face coverings should be worn in communal areas in all settings by staff, visitors and pupils in Year 7 and above, unless they are exempt.

Pupils (in Year 7 or above) should continue to wear face coverings on public and dedicated school transport, unless they are exempt.

If your child is exempt from wearing a face covering, please email Miss McCue (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

I appreciate that this is short notice, however, we have just received updated advice from the Government. If you have any questions, please email Dr Tuohy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

Deborah Williams (Mrs)

SENIOR AWARDS

26 November 2021

Dear Pupil

We are delighted to invite you to watch our Senior Awards video:

http://btrcc.lancs.sch.uk/senior-awards

The video celebrates the success of the Blessed Trinity Year 11 Leavers (2020-2021) who have achieved awards for academic success, outstanding GCSE results and outstanding academic progress over the last two years. There are many pupils who have been chosen to receive these nominated awards.

GCSE Certificates
We are pleased to say that your GCSE certificates, additional certificates and trophies will be available for collection from the school reception. Please see schedule below:

Collection Times: 10:00am – 2:00pm on the following dates:

Monday 29 November 2021

Tuesday 30 November 2021

Wednesday 1 December 2021

Thursday 2 December

Friday 3 December 2021

***When collecting your certificates, you will need to bring identification (e.g. passport).***

It is very important that you do collect these, as they are an official record of your examination performance. Future employers, Colleges and Universities often require them as evidence. We advise you to please keep them safe as the cost to replace them is approximately £40 per certificate. For this reason, we are unable to post them to you.

We will only allow one person into the building at a time. Please be patient with us as we distribute your certificates to you.

If you are unable to collect your certificates in person, you will need to give permission to your parent/carer by signing the attached form. They must also bring suitable identification. You can contact our Exams Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to make other arrangements.

I wish you every success in the next stage of your life journey. I know you will go on to be successful in all that you do and I thank you for your contributions to Blessed Trinity over the last five years.
