Note to Parents and CarersEach Monday morning we will be sending a suggested home study timetable out via email if we have your address and also uploaded to the class pages of the website.

This is a suggestion of learning challenges to support your child’s continued progress during the prolonged school shut down.

All children have their pink ‘Home Learning’ book in which to do this work.

If you would like to email work to class teachers for feedback then please use the email addresses below.

If you have any queries then please contact us and we will do all that we can to support you.

In the meantime – please stay at home and stay safe.
