If your child should find themselves having to isolate due to COVID-19 but they are well enough to work, please find below a series of resources that they can use to support their learning.

We would suggest one Maths activity, one Literacy activity and one other subject area activity each day where possible.

Please contact your child's teacher if you have any issues. Thank you for your ongoing support from home.
