School closed to most pupils until February half term
Following the announcement of the national lockdown on Monday 4th January, school will only be open to children of key-workers and vulnerable pupils. All other pupils will learn at home using Google Classroom.
Children of key-workers and those who are vulnerable will be able to attend school as usual:
pupils will be taught in Year Group 'bubbles' by a teacher from their own year group wherever possible, between 8.30am and 3.15pm.
pupils learning in school and pupils learning at home will broadly follow the same curriculum.
Wrap-around childcare from 8am-8:30am and 3:15pm-5:30pm, Breakfast club and After-school club, is also available to key workers and vulnerable children only. The usual booking and fees apply.
All other pupils will learn at home using Google Classroom:
Over this period we will be carrying out a remote learning approach.
We have developed an online learning policy which will be reviewed frequently to ensure it is meeting the needs of pupils learning from home.
Thank you for your continued support.
