School To Return to Remote Learning Following Government Announcement

Dear Parents/Guardians

Further to the Prime Minister’s announcement tonight we are writing to confirm that all Merchant Taylors’ Schools will close until further notice for all pupils except those classified as vulnerable and the children of key workers. These pupils will have access to school as planned from Wednesday 6th January 2021 and for all other pupils remote learning will commence from this date.

Over the last academic year we have made huge strides in our delivery of remote learning and we endeavour to ensure that we minimise the impact of the closure of the school sites on each of our pupils education and wellbeing.

We will now digest the full guidance in more detail, including the announcement that not all exams in the summer will go ahead as planned and we will write to you with further details on the implications of this announcement over the next couple of days.

We would like to thank you all for your ongoing support of our schools in these challenging times.

Yours faithfully

The Executive Management Team
