Microsoft Teams
MS Teams is the main piece of software that we use as a communication channel between school and home, it is also the way we deliver our remote learning offer. This is a professional communication platform where we can issue messages, work, wellbeing support and general information regarding learning. Find out more here.
"Teams gives me an easy way to communicate with the school and to view and complete work that the teachers have set the children. It is great and so easy to use."
Learning From Home
If your child is unable to attend school or the school is closed in term time, we provide online learning for your child. During Covid this was organised by staff through Microsoft Teams. Now Covid is no longer causing schools to close partially or fully, there may still be occasions when learning from home is necessary. This could be if the school is closed owing to adverse weather conditions or if your child is recovering form an operation and unable to come into school. For these rare occasions the school uses Oak Academy, which is an online package that provides a range of high quality, teacher led lessons and resources that allows children to continue learning at home.
