        <description><![CDATA[Following a recent consultation with parents, students and other stakeholders, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel this year&amp;rsquo;s Syntax Prom.&amp;nbsp; The overwhelming feeling from survey respondents was that they did not wish to take the risk of purchasing a ticket, as well as spending money on outfits and transport, for an event which may not go ahead anyway.&amp;nbsp; As yet, there is still no confirmation that mass events will be allowed to go ahead or if there will be any further restrictions in place.&amp;nbsp; We can only hope that the situation will improve over the coming weeks and months.&amp;nbsp; Whilst this is no consolation for this year&amp;rsquo;s cohort, we look forward to a time when we can all celebrate as one again and hope that the Prom will return next year.]]></description>

        <title>Home Lateral Flow Tests</title>
        <description><![CDATA[Pupils have now been issued with home lateral flow Covid19 testing kits. Pupils should self-administer these twice weekly. At present, each pupil has been issued with 6 tests, which should last them 3 weeks. The first test should be administered within 5 days of their last test in College and subsequent tests 3-5 days apart. Ideally, we would suggest trying to get into the pattern of testing on a Sunday afternoon / evening prior to the return to College on a Monday and then on a Thursday.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

        <title>Weekly Update - 7th September 2020</title>
        <description><![CDATA[Given the current climate, the use of chewing gum in the College is absolutely forbidden. Pupils who chew gum will be asked to remove the gum and keep it on their person in a wrapping, and they will receive a warning. If they are caught chewing gum on a second occasion, they will be excluded. The Governors of the College have a duty of care to all staff and pupils, and this includes our Site Management and Cleaning Teams. If these teams come into contact with gum, additional and time-consuming precautions have to be taken at the expense of their already onerous duties.]]></description>
