Remote education provision for shielding families (update) |
From March 8th all learners will be accessing learning on site apart from those who have a shielding letter or are self isolating.
We will continue to provide access to remote learning for those students who are shielding in the same format and accessed on the website. Parents and carers will receive weekly information about online learning offers and any available parent drop ins via parent mail.
