Postponed – Careers Fair – Tuesday 30th November

We regret to inform you that the careers fair at Westborough High School tomorrow (30/11/2021) is now postponed.

Following the latest government guidance, in the light of the new variant, the school have today decided that aside from normal lessons, all other face to face meetings/gatherings/assemblies in school must cease with immediate effect.

Sadly, the implication for us is that the careers fair can’t take place tomorrow. I’m very sorry that you are getting this news so late in the day. Safety must come first. Hopefully we can try again when the situation with covid is better.
