Students and staff are in good spirits after the Christmas break and looking forward to the term and the months ahead. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, there was a positive feeling across the Outwood schools in Chesterfield. "It is a credit to them and to our wider academy community for their ongoing patience and we want to thank them as we navigate our way together through these difficult times. We truly are very thankful to our parent and carer community for their strong support and understanding with testing and masks. All school staff and pupils in secondary schools across England are being asked to take two lateral flow tests a week.
