Dear Parent/Cares/Guardians,

 

I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that at a recent governing body meeting it has been decided that the start of the academic year for current Year 2 – Year 5 will now be Monday 7^th September 2020.

 

I am currently absorbing the government guidance that was issued on 2^nd July to determine the exact timings for the beginning and the end of the school day.

 

Once this has been agreed, you will of course be informed but undoubtedly, there will be a variety of different start and end times for each year group.

 

Kind Regards,

Mr N Booth

We may be isolated, but by connecting digitally we can still connect as people, to collaborate, learn, and share experiences through music.

For us at Digit, collaboration is central to our day-to-day business, and technology is one of the most powerful tools we have for making and keeping those connections, to produce and share work with others.

So we'd like to connect with you to help you get creative and collaborate with pupils from home with our free music-making workshops using the online tool, Soundtrap.

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We have updated the layout of the Learning from Home page to make resources easier to find. Teachers will also be producing weekly videos to support learning from home.

 

If you login to Purple Mash and click on the Sharing icon (globe) and visit Shared Blogs, your child will now be able to communicate with friends and their class teacher via their class blog.

 

There will be some video guides later this week to support you using Purple Mash and other programs.

 

Stay safe
