In common with schools both locally and nationally we have had recent significant staff absences due to COVID related issues, and these have been growing.
Tomorrow we are due to have 25% of our staff absent from school. With this large staff absence, which we perceive may not improve over the coming days, we are unable to meet our commitment to you that every student receives an excellent education and is supported and nurtured in a safe school.
We had hoped to not find ourselves in this position again but unfortunately I have made the difficult decision to close the school to Year 9 and 10 for tomorrow, Wednesday 30th March 2022.
When not in school, students will be provided with home learning which will be set on Teams no later than the start of lesson times. The remaining year groups must attend school if they remain well.
We intend to review the staffing situation tomorrow, and will keep all families informed of our plans. We will ensure all students can return to school as soon as we are confident we have enough staff available.
Sadly we are not alone in this situation, and we recognise this is a significant decision that will impact you and your family. I apologise for any difficulties that this decision brings.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Kind regards,
John Salberg
Principal

We are full of pride for each and every one of our students. They have shown huge levels of agility, resilience and positivity in what has been this most challenging of years. It is testament to their attitude, their hard work and commitment, alongside the tireless dedication of our staff that we are able to stand here together with these exceptional young people.
Our students should be proud of their achievements, efforts and successes and deserve all of our praise. Thanks must also go to our dedicated and passionate staff who have worked so incredibly hard supporting our students, and to our families and the whole of The Wren School community for their continued support and encouragement.
We wish all of our students the very best in their next steps of education, safe in the knowledge that they have nurtured the character and skills needed to excel in wherever their journey takes them. We look forward to welcoming back our returning students in September who will be starting their next chapter at our fantastic sixth form, and wish them all a safe remainder of the summer.
