The government guidance states that 3 hours worth of home learning should be provided / completed each day. We are aware that there is probably more than that available to you on your 'projects' pages. Please do what you can but as a rough guide, 45 minutes per subject should be about right. Of course, some subjects take longer than others and some only take 15 minutes or so.

Why is my child not with his normal class teacher?
The majority of children attending school during lockdown will be with their class teacher most of the time however, in order to maintain class sizes some rearrangement has been necessary.

This will reduce each members of staff's contacts and provide every child with the chance to see their teacher whether working at home or school.
