Regent High School is open to all students.

Updated 9 April 2021 

We have summarised the arrangements for the re-opening of Regent High School from Monday 8 March 2021 in this letter to all parents and carers.  

We have also written to families to explain the arrangements for summer examinations for students in Years 11 and 13.

Start of summer term

The summer term will start for all students at the usual time (see table below) on Monday 19 April 2021.  The advent of warmer weather will mean that the wearing of coats in classrooms will no longer be allowed.  Additionally, hoodies will not be allowed in school and will be confiscated if seen.  Students arriving at school with incomplete uniform - including not wearing school shoes - will be sent home.

Wonde Free School Meal vouchers

Please be aware that the Wonde vouchers distributed during the recent school closure to families of children eligible for Free School Meals must be claimed by the end of the Easter holiday, Friday 16 April 2021, otherwise they will be cancelled.

Please contact Reception on 020 7387 0126 if you have any questions regarding these vouchers.

 Structure of the school day

We have reverted to having a staggered start and finish times for each year group, with different year groups using different entrances.  Please note that there have been some changes to these arrangements.  The arrival and departure times, as well as the entrance and exit for each year group are as follows:

Rapid COVID-19 testing

In line with the Government's expectations, we are undertaking 'rapid' lateral flow testing of all students.  Staff are undertaking lateral flow tests at home.

Our updated letter and consent form provide further information about rapid COVID-19 testing.

Information about the twice-weekly COVID-19 home testing is included in this letter.

 There is more information about testing on our COVID-19 page.

PCR and LFD testing during Ramadan

The British Islamic Medical Association’s view is that taking polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or lateral flow device (LFD) tests during Ramadan does not invalidate the fast.

People may feel more comfortable doing the tests when they are not fasting.  In this case, with the move to home-testing, tests can be carried out at any time.

 Holiday activities and food for children and young people

Holiday activities and food for children and young people aged five to 16 will be running borough-wide for one week during the Easter holiday.  15 providers have signed up to offer various activities, together with at least one meal a day.

Letters will be sent this week to families whose children are eligible for Free School Meals.  The letter and accompanying leaflet show the full list of providers, what the providers are offering and how parents and carers can book onto the activities. Parents and carers can use the letter as evidence that your children receive free school meals, ensuring you have free access to the provision.

This updated leaflet shows where waiting lists are operating for particular programmes.
