THE SCHOOL IS REOPENING FROM 15TH JUNE
WITH FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT FOR YEARS 10 & 12
Our Sixth Form team are very excited to welcome all Sixth Form applicants to our Induction Day.
To facilitate a safe return for staff and students, an addendum to the Behaviour for Learning policy has been created to address any adjustments that have been made in response to the governments guidance on social distancing. We encourage parents/carers to review the document linked above alongside their children before they return to school to ensure the social distancing measures are followed.
Keeping the school open for children of key workers and vulnerable students
This is the latest government guidance for schools in England:
The most recent scientific advice on how to further limit the spread of COVID-19 is clear. If children can stay safely at home, they should, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.
That is why the government has asked parents to keep their children at home, wherever possible, and asked schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend.
It is important to underline that schools, colleges and other educational establishments remain safe places for children. But the fewer children making the journey to school, and the fewer children in educational settings, the lower the risk that the virus can spread and infect vulnerable individuals in wider society.
Schools are, therefore, being asked to continue to provide care for a limited number of children - children who are vulnerable and children whose parents are critical to the Covid-19 response and cannot be safely cared for at home.
Vulnerable children include children who are supported by social care, those with safeguarding and welfare needs, including child in need plans, on child protection plans, ‘looked after’ children, young carers, disabled children and those with education, health and care (EHC) plans.
Full list of who can send their children to school if necessary.
If you believe that you qualify please click on the 'Key Workers Parents or Vulnerable Students' button above and fill in the request form. You do not need to fill this in again if we have already agreed your child’s eligibility.
All other children will need to stay at home.

Welcome to our fantastic school. I hope our website gives you a flavour of what a great place EPHS is, and how proud we are of all of our students and staff and their wonderful achievements. Our mission statement: “achieving excellence in a learning community” highlights our core belief that everyone within our school is a learner, that everyone can excel to accomplish great things with the support and challenge of others and that all achievement should be celebrated together, working in partnership.
We aim for all of our students to achieve academic excellence and to also grow in confidence through other areas of school life, such as sport and the arts. We believe students have the right to experience excellence in the quality of teaching they receive, and always select the very best staff to work in our school. Our school is a happy, exciting and dynamic learning environment. Do arrange a visit to see for yourself. Mr E. Wong (Headteacher) |
We were thrilled to have received our final Ofsted report from the recent inspection in March 2019 which confirms that we are indeed an OUTSTANDING school. The full report, which we feel is an excellent summary of what makes our school so superb, can be read here. Huge thanks to our expert staff and governors, our wonderful students and our supportive parents who have all worked together to secure this judgement for our fantastic school.Prospectus
