Remote Learning
During the periods students are absent due to industrial action, work from teachers not striking on the day is uploaded onto Google Classroom; this might be more problematic for practical subjects such as PE. This is where you will access remote learning including any live segments of lessons. The summary of our Remote Education Provision provides information to students and parents/carers about what to expect from remote education.
All students in KS3 have a reading book and can undertake their Accelerated Reading quiz online as well as using Spellzone for regular spelling practice.
