Home Learning Welcome
Dear Parents/Carers,
Whilst your children are learning from home, we will be updating their work via this school website. Each year group has its own page which will be updated regularly by teachers.
Many children crave routines, and being home from school can make things feel unpredictable. We have included a suggested timetable below that you could modify to suit the needs of your family. You could even ask the children to help you to create this.
