Dear Parents and Carers of children in school
Newsletter week 13 to families ‘learning at home’
Wider Opening and school places
School remains at full capacity- should places become available in bubbles these will be offered up until Friday 3rd July only , Bubbles will then be closed .
Teaching and Learning
We have now hit 110 hours of online learning provision and continue to thank parents/carers who are supporting and supervising their children to ensure that all work is completed every day. Parents please make sure you are checking that children are completing ALL learning set to the very best of their abilities and that children are responding to teaching staff marking. Staff are working incredibly hard to contact families to support this, it is really helpful if parents can answer phones because if not safeguarding procedures are triggered at school. The more emails, phone calls and texts we have to make or send the more money this costs school.
On-line learning, high quality , bespoke learning will continue to be provided daily until the 22nd July which is the last day children are in school , a menu of Summer fun activities with be provided after this but will not involve on-line learning and the school blog. We will need to collect in all school IPADS by Monday 20th July 2020 for auditing purposes, please return these to school . As a school we keep evidence records of all support given remotely to enable this, if you still need help you must please contact us for the benefit of your child. Please be mindful that nearly all teachers are now teaching in school as well as delivering on-line learning re response times.
Free School Meals Information
