Remote Learning

This section of our school website provides useful links and advice for families for Remote Learning in the event of a school closure i.e. snow day or in the event that a child is unwell and off school but well enough to complete some work.

Remote learning for each class/year group can be accessed by clicking on the links in the table below.  We have planned work and activities to be completed remotely for either a class, group or small number of children having to isolate.  In the event of a national lockdown, work and information will  also be provided on these pages.  

Teachers will be setting work to be completed remotely. This will include: 

• English activities (in addition to reading)
• Maths activities
• daily topic activities (history, geography, science etc)

We recommend that as a family you have a regular time when school work is to be completed.  We also suggest that children can work in a designated place, suitable for writing.
