During the coronavirus pandemic this section of the website will support families with guidance from the government and communications from the school. 


Updated Government guidelines: Stay at home 

The UK Government has currently ordered all Primary Schools to close and move to remote learning. Nursery facilities will remain open in line with official guidance. Please see the attached letter Spring Term Arrangements for detailed advice.


Remote education provision: information for parents 

This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education in the event restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. 


The remote curriculum: what is taught to pupils at home

Nursery and Reception children will have access to an amended timetable, children in Y1- Y6 will have access to 100% of their conventional timetable. 


How will my child access any online remote education you are providing?

All children currently have access to online learning via Google Classroom and Zoom. Please refer to the online learning section of the website for additional details. (If you have problems accessing Google Classroom please use the online contact form.)


How will my child be taught remotely?

We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely:


  • live teaching (online lessons)
  • recorded teaching
  • workbooks and worksheets produced by teachers
  • commercially available websites supporting the teaching of specific subjects
  • long-term project work and/or internet research activities


Remote education for self-isolating pupils

Where an individual pupils need to self-isolate, they will be provided with a work pack. This is due to the challenges of teaching pupils both at home and in school.


Work packs can either be posted to a pupil’s Google Classroom or be sent home in print.
