Testing of Students from Monday 8th March – Lower School Ball Hall
Testing will take place on different days for different year groups. Times have been allocated by form group and surname. Students should arrive at the times stated in the table below and follow further instructions whilst waiting to be tested.
Students will not be expected to wear uniform, but will be required to wear face coverings and follow social distancing guidelines. Please ensure that your son arrives on time. Heads of Year will meet and direct students to the Test Centre. Your son will have the opportunity to meet with his form tutor once he has had his test, but will be unable to remain on site after this. He should then return home. In line with present lockdown restrictions and risk assessments, unfortunately, parents/carers are not allowed on site.
Work will continue to be set and should be completed online by students on these 3 days.

Remote ‘Blended Learning’ During School Closures
Students will be following their normal timetable throughout each week and be expected to log in for form time at the beginning of each school day. Blended learning is a combination of both virtual live online lessons and work set to be completed during lesson time.
Remember to check everyday with the Weekly Work Overviews that are updated each week to give you details on what your classes will be covering.
Remember, Learning at EGS is EGS:
Email – check your emails carefully everyday
Google Classroom – check your Google classrooms everyday
Subject Timetable – Follow your timetable
The School Day During Remote Learning
Try to have a space set aside for your remote learning if you can; quiet and free of clutter. Ensure you have your exercise & text books to hand as well as your stationery.
- Ensure you get up on time, get dressed and have breakfast
- 8.30am – log on for Form time / registration with your tutor
- 8.40am – follow your weekly timetable throughout the day
- Breaks and lunchtimes will be at the usual times
- 3.05pm – End of the day – no form
When in a live lesson, please have your camera on but ensure your sound is on mute. Follow teacher instructions. Interact within the chat box if instructed. Raise the ‘hand’ option if you have a question. Unmute yourself to answer to the register or a question.
School rules still apply.
Merits, LR1/LR2/First Call will still be used, recorded and shared.
Please try to get some fresh air / exercise everyday.
