Home Learning
Welcome to our Home Learning page. Here you will find links to different websites to access a range of activities and resources to support different areas of the curriculum.
Each of them is free, however, for some you will need to create a log in.
I want to complete some additional work at home with my child, where do I start?
Please find below some age-appropriate activities across a range of subjects, which you may use to support your child.
What can I do with my child if their school is closed?
To keep your child busy and learning in the event that they may be unable to attend school, try to complete some of these activities. With a range of fun, engaging and challenging tasks, your children will practise fundamental skills and reinforce concepts that have already been taught to them during this year. This is the perfect way to help your child reinforce learning and enhance knowledge until they are able to return to school.
Why do schools decide when to close?
On rare occasions, schools will decide to close. This can be for a variety of reasons. Your child’s learning doesn’t stop just because they are not able to attend school, and these activities will help them continue with their knowledge and understanding of the world.
Can someone with no teaching experience deliver this work?
Any adult can support their child without having any teaching expertise or subject knowledge. Many of the activities require no input at all from an adult – they simply cover content that your child will already have some understanding of from previous lessons at school.
Please contact the school office if you have any questions.
Here are some excellent websites to use at home to support your child.
