Remote Learning Plan

During Covid 19 our school is offering remote learning to any children who may need to slef-isolate due to contact with someone with the virus or being tested positive. We also offer this during any National Lockdown where school is only open to critical workers and vulnerable children. 

Here are some websites that may be helpful:
