Home Learning
Dear Parents/Carers
We really appreciate the support you have shown during these unprecedented times. In the event of a school closure, we will continue to communicate with you regularly and will update you with additional work via email as and when.
All children will be given a home learning pack and log ins for specific online learning activities. Whilst we appreciate that everyone will be managing their children differently and that many of you will have to manage your own workloads from home, we know that many of our children work better with some structure.
We have seen something similar on Twitter and thought it may be helpful to share.
