==Introduction==
<i>We continue to operate under the threat of Covid-19. Whilst I hope that the threat is minimal and that the School can continue to run as well as it is at present, it is possible that there might have to be changes in how we operate at very short notice and circumstances might arise in which we may be required to send home one or more year-groups for a week or more. Should we have to switch to remote learning due to a full or partial closure, we will again use the Microsoft Teams platform and our teachers are currently in the process of receiving further training on the use of Teams. They are already reasonably familiar with it, having used the system for much of the closure period. In a little over a week’s time we will start to deliver Teams training to all students in dedicated sessions. These will be supplemented with guides produced in-house and video tutorials which can serve as an aide-memoire, if needed. As is the case with exercises such as fire evacuation drills, it is hoped that we will never need to use the Teams system in a closure situation but by investing time now, we can help students to feel well prepared so that learning without undue hindrance can continue, should circumstances turn against us.</i>
