Please read our Continuity of Learning Plan (updated September 2021) for details of how we are supporting pupils not able to be in school. We have 3 tiers of response:

Tier 1: Individual (siblings) not able to attend school due to Covid restrictions (e.g. isolating after travel/confirmed Covid case/awaiting test result).

Tier 2: A bubble or wider cohort is unable to attend school due to Covid restrictions.

Tier 3: Whole school/Key stage are unable to attend school due to Covid restrictions.

Remote Learning Evaluation

We have worked extremely hard to provide the best possible virtual learning experience for pupils at home during recent lockdowns. Please click here for our DfE evaluation, which details how we have done against Government criteria. We score 5/5 for most categories! We are most proud of the fact that we have provided a Chromebook to every child in the school from Y1-6.
