Home Learning Centre

 

We have prepared an extensive list of online learning facilities and learning projects/packs. Also look on this link for Wellbeing activities.

Subscription sites offering free access:

Below are some of the educational websites who are kindly offering free access during any School Closures.  This is an option for those children and parents who wish to keep educating at home.  These websites are not only educational but lots of fun and a good way to keep busy.  These sites normally charge a lot of money and we appreciate their generosity allowing learning to continue during this time.

As we are a ' BRONZE RIGHTS COMMITTED' school and are working towards the Rights Respecting award, we would like our children to be familiar with the Rights of the Child.  Each week, UNICEF are publishing an 'article of the week' for children to learn about and complete activites on.  The artcile activity is attched on this page. See our Rights Respecting page for more information on the Rights of the Child.
