To aid with pupil’s home learning, we have outlined the most useful learning and resource websites, these have been separated into different year groups where appropriate, some websites may also be used across multiple year groups.

 

The teachers have managed to engage all the children during the zoom lessons which I would imagine is no easy feat given all the cogs that are needed to work together to make distance learning run seamlessly and yet personalised for all the pupils.
