COVID-19 Update 19 March 2020

Key Workers

We are still awaiting confirmation from the Government as to exactly who is classed as a key worker but we have already started collating details from our parents who think they may fit into this category.

Please refer to GOV.UK for a full list of key workers once they have been made available.

Year 9 Options Choices

Year 9 students should send an email containing their 3 options choices to info@dormston.dudley.sch.uk

The title of the email should be

'Year 9 Options Choices for (student name)'

The deadline for these Options Choices is Friday 27 March 2020

You can either email a completed form found here or simply list your 3 choices.

Further information can be found here.

Government Closure of Schools

The Government are requesting that schools close to all students from Friday 20 March 2020 but remain open to those whose parents are classed as key workers and to those students who are considered ‘vulnerable’.

We currently have no definitive list from Government as to who is classed as a key worker but we will update you with this as soon as possible.
