Studying from Home: Help Page

Whilst school is closed due to the UK government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, students who are feeling well are expected to study at home. Where possible, students should complete their work online and submit to teachers at least once a week. Teachers will provide feedback to students at least once a week.

Students using the paper “Study Packs” (sent home to students with internet access difficulties) or the Daily Home-School Timetable can share photos of their work with their teachers by email if they are able or keep the documents safe until their return to school.

Students may also use a range of free online resources, available on the Supporting Home Learning page, where you will also find a Parent Factsheet with useful tips and resources for Home Learning.
