Dear Parent/Carers,

HT’s Letter – Thursday 17 June 2021

Today we have started to welcome our new Year 7 students for their admissions meetings, and look forward to them starting the transition programme in readiness for September.

Covid-19 Safety Protocols

Students should continue to conduct and register lateral flow tests on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. As always, if your child’s test has a positive result, please email admin@sns.hackney.sch.uk as soon as possible.

A reminder that test kits are available for households, please follow this link for more information and to order. Should your child require further home test kits, please email admin@sns.hackney.sch.uk.

The week beginning Monday 5 July, we will be conducting on-site lateral flow testing for all students for whom we have previously received consent. Given the national increase in confirmed positive cases, this additional layer of testing will support keeping the community safe in the lead up to the Summer Break. Students will also be provided with two lateral flow home test kits to support testing in the Summer holiday.

Refugee Week

A reminder that tomorrow, Friday 18 June, is non-uniform day to support our theme of the week, Refugee Week. We ask for a 50p donation to participate and all proceeds going to two charities, chosen by the students, CARE and Safe Passage.

World Wellbeing Week

Next week we will be launching our Wellbeing Booklets for students to complete for the rest of the academic year to coincide with world wellbeing week. The booklet will be used during form time. Students must have their booklet with them at all times. Please find a copy of the booklet attached so you are familiar with the tasks and activities your child will be undertaking.
