- Academic management: Safeguarding, GDPR, Quality assurance and contingency planning.
Part 2: Pastoral facilitation of international boarders returning to the UK (Caroline Nixon and Julian Baker)
- Emotional and physical well-being guidance for returning students and parents: Face masks, bubbles, on-site health care provision, practicalities of boarding school life after lockdown, quarantining
- Communication policies
- The holistic care of students.
