"The Fire Brigade did a brilliant job at putting it out but there is smoke damage and more significant fire damage to our kitchen. 

"Exams will happen as normal. Year 11 and Year 13 will do their exams as normal on Monday. They should come into school as normal. 

"Year 11s and Year 13s who have morning and afternoon exams can stay in school as normal. If students are reliant on the school bus to get home, they are welcome to stay in school and study. 

"Please can students bring in a packed lunch as we will not have any dining facilities. School will be closed on Monday to Years 7 – 10 and Year 12 who will instead have their lessons via Teams. "
