Welcome to our Home Learning pages!
You will find everything you need here to support your children's learning while the school is closed.
Teachers will be setting work weekly: under each year group, there is School Set Work plus a Robinhood Learning Project to be completed every week by all children. In the sections underneath the recommended work are other resources you might find useful or even fun.
Below are links to some great websites, including the ones we use frequently in the classroom.
Click on this link if you would like some tips and advice for how to get started - https://www.teachingpacks.co.uk/tips-and-advice-for-home-learning/. And remember - we are always still available by email if you need some help (email addresses for each year group are on the Home Page and also under the year group tabs).
For additional advice on SEND provision, check the information at the bottom of the page.
