Home Learning
During National Lock downs:
The Home Learning Curriculum will mirror the School Curriculum as far as is possible.
Teachers will contact your child through Teams, the VLE or Class Dojo- depending on the format children are used to.
Lessons are a blend of online teaching, independent work and activities away from the computer.
A timetable of lessons will be published in Class Dojo each week.
If you have any difficulties in accessing computer led work, please contact us and we will endeavour to support you. Failing that, we can arrange to give you a printed pack of work.
For children having to self-isolate at home:
Children can use the Oak National Academy plans and resources.
The Oak Academy has a very comprehensive curriculum which was specifically written with the advent of Covid 19. If your child struggles, you could look in the year groups below their own.
