The school will provide progress updates through Evidence for Learning in the form of videos, pictures and messages. Following Evidence for Learning can easily be done through a mobile phone, tablet or computer, if you want more information or need some help follow this link. This year we will also be using Evidence for Learning to support home school communication.

Due to COVID-19 there are a few changes to the timings to ensure we can keep everyone safe. The start and end times of the day have shifted slightly to limit the amount of people coming on to site at any one time. If you would like further information about the measures the school has taken to manage the risks associate with COVID-19 please follow the link to the school’s risk assessment.

In the timetables above you will find times for Live Lessons in which your child can participate in. There will be a morning lesson starting at 9.30am, and an afternoon lesson starting at 1.30pm. To access each lesson, your child needs to follow the link emailed to their school Outlook account. This link will direct them to Microsoft Teams where they can join their live lesson including speaking to their teacher and peers. You will still receive activities through the Evidence for Learning App for lessons not being taught live.
