There will be times when we are forced to partially or fully close the school. On this page you will find a great wealth of resources available to students and their families to support remote learning. Our desire would always be to provide live lessons using Google Meet where possible and this will be our first option. However, when there are circumstances that may mean this is not possible, we want to provide resources to enable students to self study. On this page you will find interactive tools and websites that parents and carers can access to help guide their child and ensure they have access to meaningful education during these times.
If KS5 students are not in a live, remotely conducted lesson, they should use the time wisely to undertake independent subject work and any relevant subject related extension work that has been suggested by staff.
| Activity | Link | Description | Years | Subjects |
| Reading | All students should be reading as often as possible. We would suggest students do an hour of independent reading that will support them to improve their literacy.
Guided reading (reading aloud to your children while they read along) is also a great way for them to develop their literacy. |

These resources will also be supportive when students are not able to access school due to prolonged illness or other extenuating circumstances. Clearly, they are not a substitute for in school learning but will support students to have some work when needed. We expect all students to attend full time when school is open.
