Remote Learning

Attendance to lessons and form time will be monitored by staff and parents will be contacted to offer support. We understand many of you, like us, are balancing our own personal arrangements but it is important students access all lessons. Please contact your child’s form tutor if you need to discuss this further.

We are delighted that many of our staff have volunteered to run virtual Co-Curricular clubs whilst we are not in school. These range from Cooking to Dance to Film Club to a club for animal lovers. We will send out more information early next week alongside the PE Department’s Virtual Sports Clubs too.

We appreciate that our on-site timings of the day may not suit remote learning, so we have adapted them to ensure that the wellbeing of staff and students is our highest priority. At the end of each lesson there will be short interval to move to the next virtual lesson. We would like to stress at each interval that STAND and STRECTH takes place very much like in school. Hydrate with a drink and take a short comfort break. Students on site in Critical Worker Groups will follow the same timings.
