Update on key worker school cover
School Supervision Arrangements for children of Key Workers
Mr Rodgers, our school principal would like to speak directly to parents, carers and children in our school. Please click the video below to hear his message.
With the closure of the school due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we have made provisions for online teaching.
The main tool we will use for online teaching is Google Classroom. You can watch this short overview video to give you an idea of how it works:
How to access Google Classroom
On a laptop or computer, you can access it via their website at: https://classroom.google.com
For smartphones or tablets, you can download the app for Android and Apple
To sign in to Google Classroom you will use your children school email, password and class ID, this information will be sent to you via the SeeSaw app.
We are also looking into live streaming some classes, we will update you on that when we have more details.

Other advice:
If your child is using a phone or tablet we recommend you get a Bluetooth keyboard to make it easier for them to type on. You can get a Bluetooth keyboard from as little as £15 on Amazon.
If you plan to get your child a laptop, Google Classroom is web-based so will work on any device. The best laptop for a child is a Chromebook and you can get these from £180 on Amazon. For extra savings look in the Amazon Warehouse section. We recommend going for one with a 13″ or 14″ inch screen but if your child has good eyesight the 11″ ones might do the job ok.
