Learning out of school

Literacy resources to support parents

Dear Parents,

We know that lots of our pupils are doing a great job with their Home Learning at the moment and we are very proud of their efforts! The staff are all still at hand to help you with all aspects of learning at home. In the video below our Literacy Coordinator, Miss Bates, shares some thoughts and ideas for Developing Reading at Home. Keep an eye out for more videos coming to help with other aspects of learning.

There are resources to support reading at home below this video too.
