Covid-19 - Can lessons take place in-person?

Following the updates to the government COVID-19 guidelines in July we asked all lessons took place online wherever possible. Our main priority, as ever, is to ensure everyone's safety. The guidelines have recently been updated so we wanted to update our guidelines too. As you will know, the country is under different levels of restrictions, and local guidelines should be followed according to the area you live in. If your area is under Tier 2 or Tier 3 restrictions, face to face lessons can not take place as households cannot mix.

Schools have now re-opened, and the guidelines have been relaxed in some areas which means we can support face to face lessons if they are necessary, however we still recommend that lessons take place online wherever possible. If in-person lessons are to take place, great care needs to be taken by both parties to keep everyone as safe as possible. Neither party nor any household members should be showing any signs of illness and lessons should take place at a 2-metre distance, in a well-ventilated area.
