Welcome back Sept 2020Welcome back to our all pupils, parents/carers and staff this week. We hope you had a nice break and are refreshed and ready for the new term ahead. Parents/carers should now have been contacted to inform you of your child's start date. If you are unsure please contact us.
Following government guidance "face coverings should be worn by adults (staff and visitors) and pupils when moving around indoors, such as in corridors and communal areas where social distancing is difficult to maintain." Please ensure your child comes equipped with a face mask. Our Covid-19 risk assessment is still in place and can be accessed further down this page. If you have any concerns please contact us to clarify. In Year 11 and looking for support in what to do next?
Take a look at the document below from Bury Council and Connexions. Lots of great advice and contact details for colleges, and apprenticeships on offer around Bury. Good luck to all our Year 11 leavers.

Corona Virus – COVID19 Update 19/03/20
Part of the the government statement yesterday (18th March 2020)
"It is clear that education and children’s social care settings are increasingly finding it difficult to continue as normal, as illness and self-isolation impacts on staffing levels and pupil attendance. To provide parents, student and staff with the certainty they need we are announcing that schools, colleges and early years settings will be closed to everyone except children of key workers and vulnerable children from Monday, as part of the country’s ongoing response to coronavirus. Examples of these workers include NHS staff, police and delivery drivers who need to be able to go to work. Vulnerable children include those who have a social worker and those with Education, Health and Care Plans.A full list of key worker categories will be published by the Cabinet Office tomorrow.
Children who do not fall into these groups should remain at home with appropriate care. Where schools are unable to provide this reduced provision, local authorities will work with the Department for Education’s regional teams to ensure an alternative option is available"
Update from Spring Lane school
As advised by the government, we will do all we can to stay open for the children of key workers (e.g. NHS staff, police, others in frontline services) and children with certain needs. We are waiting for the government to publish more information on what this means. We will inform parents of our detailled response as soon as we receive clarification from he government later today.

We are Spring Lane School. Welcome to our website.
Spring Lane School is made up of three separate units operating in Bury. We have three individual sites in Radcliffe, Bury town centre and Chesham that are dedicated to supporting secondary age pupils to continue with their education. The majority of our pupils have found various difficulties in mainstream education and attend our centres for support with both academic and vocational studies. The Inclusion Support Team (Outreach) for Bury are also based at our Spring Lane centre in Radcliffe and offer support to those pupils who are still in mainstream education and at risk of exclusion.
Use the navigation links above to find more information about Spring Lane School and what our centres have to offer. Some sections of the website are still under construction. More content and news will be added on a weekly basis and so if you cannot find the information you require please get in contact directly using the Contact Us link.
