Home Learning
You can read our remote learning plan here (Remote Learning Plan) there is also a simple timetable for the children to follow when working from home.
From September 2020, we have been using the Microsoft Teams platform to share learning that teachers have prepared virtually. There will be planning, resources and online tutorials each day. There is also a simple timetable for the children to follow whilst working from home.
If your child will be working from home, you will recieve a username and password from the school via SMS message.
To access Teams, you can simply visit the website https://teams.microsoft.com/ in a web browser.
For a better experience, we would recommend that you download and install the Microsoft Teams application which is available for Windows, Mac and iOS devices. To download the right version for your device, visit the website https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads.
If you do not have access to Microsoft Teams, we will still be making work packs which you will be able to pick up from school. This will be the first time we have used Microsoft Teams in this way so please let us know if you encounter any problems.
Completed work can be e-mailed to one the following addresses..
