We have taken full advantage of our own experience of remote learning; taking encouragement from the hugely positive response and learning lessons where necessary.

“We are so impressed with how the school has handled everything and all the effort the teachers have put into the online learning.” M Stephenson, Year 1 and Year 3 parent

“We have been so impressed with the Microsoft Teams learning.  The children have learnt a massive amount about collaborating online and learning in different styles.” Year 4 and Year 7 parent
