COVID-19 update – we are running additional sessions for CAT testing to ensure we can offer as many CAT tests as we usually would. There is a full risk assessment in place to ensure children and staff are safe, outlining measures taken by the Academy to mitigate the risk of COVID19. These measures include, but are not limited to, additional cleaning regime, children seated following strict distancing guidance in well ventilated rooms, hand sanitising stations and no parent entry to the Academy.
Please contact Operationsteam@rivers-aspirations.org or admissions@rivers-aspirations.org for more information.
