1 . Covid-19 Information
Covid-19 Lateral Flow Device testing is available to all staff and students who are on site. Where -agreement is given, students and staff are offered twice weekly testing. These lateral flow tests are part of the Covid-19 screening programme to identify individuals who are positive for Covid-19 but asymptomatic (无症状的) to help reduce the spread within our community.
The health, safety and well-being of all our staff and young people is our absolute priority. We have put lots of measures in place to lessen the risk of spread and review these frequently in line with the latest guidance.
The school has carried out home learning methods on our well established learning platform to ensure that those students who have been sent home are able to continue their learning by using all resources available, and to support parents and pupils during this time.

4 . In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone:
On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown—A student of mine introduced this rap song lo me all the way back in the early 1990s, when 1 was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”.
Say Something by A Great Big World—A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is very little playing but beautiful.
American Pie by Don McLean—Another song from my youth in the 80s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.
The Weight by The Band—Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers—This Los Angeles group wrote a song that 1 used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about the “city of angel” being as “lonely as I am. (Don t worry! I have plenty of friends now.)
