We are continuing to experience issues with our water supply. While we have secured a limited amount of water for the site, this means we can only accommodate a small number of students and staff on-site on Thursday 15th January. Our apologies for the day-by-day updates; we ask for your understanding as we endeavour to make sound decisions on behalf of the students, parents and GBHS staff. 

Thursday 15th January 2026

• School will be open for Year 11 and Year 13 students only.

All students in these year groups are expected to attend as normal. Lessons will follow the usual timetable. Students should adhere to normal school uniform policy.
