National One Minute Silence Today

Published on 23/03/21

Today is the first anniversary of the first national lockdown being announced because of the coronavirus pandemic. A year ago only just over 300 people had died of covid; that is now over 126,000. Alongside people in schools, colleges and workplaces across the country, all at Caedmon College and Whitby Sixth Form will stand in silence for a minute as a way of remembering all of those people who have passed away, their friends and family who mourn them, as well as recognising the heroic efforts of everyone in our health services over the last year.

The wider re-opening of schools from 8 March onwards is high on the priority list but, at time of writing, we await to learn what the precise timings and conditions under which this will happen. We know that remote learning will continue for at least the first two weeks of this 5-week half term up to Easter.
