Hereford HR1 2LR Telephone (0432) 57617 No. CCXXVI 1980 COMMENT Commemoration They sat round the table, Sixth formers wearing the glint of anticipated freedom. What are we commemorating today, we wondered. "Easter?" ventured one after a long silence. There wasn't much interest; thoughts were elsewhere. We established the occasion and tried to remem- ber the benefactors. "Charles the first" emerged first from this ace of conversation stoppers, followed closely by Bishop Gilbert. No one thought of Arthur Ulrich Zimmerman. What after all has become of the Zimmerman Library (vanished without trace—unless you count Room 'Z') ? So much for gratitude. But where else, other than from the Zimmerman bequest, would the Old Herefordians have found the cash to buy Old College for the use of the School ? At least Zimmerman is remembered in the Commemoration prayer, bringing up the rear in the rehearsal of names each year. But what of his Contents successors ? Have there not been at least two major occasions since his bequest when individuals and 2 Annales Scholae institutions have made generous contributions to The Year in Outline 2 fund the School's development? Have those J.W.R. 3 benefactors no right to recognition too? Perhaps, after all, it is easier to celebrate the Patronal festival 5 To the Buttery . of St. Mary the Virgin, as we did last year, instead.

    Directorate/Division: Economy and Place Team: Passenger Transport Please ask for: School Transport Direct line: Email: Date: 19th August 2020 Dear parents and carers, School transport advice during the Covid-19 pandemic – Autumn Term 2020 We previously issued guidance on the use of school and college transport for the Autumn term in a letter in July 2020. Following the release of further guidance from Government this information has now been updated We recommend that you follow the updated Government guidance summarised in this letter to help to keep your child safe and talk to your child about the general advice and rules for their particular type of service before they travel. General advice To help keep your child and fellow students safe, your child should not travel if: o They are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms o They are self-isolating as a result of coronavirus symptoms or sharing a household or support bubble with somebody with symptoms o They are clinically extremely vulnerable and cannot shield during their journey o They have been advised by the NHS test and trace service to self-isolate The requirements for social distancing on board vehicles will depend on the type of service your child is using. You will need to ensure that your child is aware of the requirements for their particular service. Where possible children should keep their distance from others who are not in their household. Public Health England recommends that people stay two metres apart from others who are outside their household or support bubble, or a ‘one metre plus’ approach where this is not possible.
