Disposable Face masks (Mr Allan)
These are available at Reception and may be provided by your teacher. However, please bring your own reusable cloth covering. This is a far more sustainable way of working which creates less waste and environmental impact. If you do use a disposable mask, it should last all day and must be put in a bin when you are finished with it. Let’s take care of the planet… and take care of each other’s health. Many thanks.
