In an attempt to make home life over the next few weeks as normal as possible, I have planned some straight forward work that should keep your child/children sufficiently occupied. The following work has been chosen so your child should be able to complete it without assisstance in most cases. If they encounter any difficult questions and/or activities please don't get frustrated, just move on to another task. This plan of work is given to help support parents and not to cause any added stress at what is an extraordinary time, so bear this in mind.

Please remember this is only a suggested amount of work and how much your child gets done, is entirely dependant on your circumstances over the next few weeks. Please do not see the above as a list of compulsory work to be completed as I am aware that every child is different and their experience over the coming weeks will be different also.
If you are looking for some suggestions for less academic activities please see School News and Updates section of this website for more fun and creative tasks.
I look forward to seeing everyone back, in school, and in good health, when it is safe to return. Stay safe!
