We will keep you informed of all government regulations with regards to education and the changes that will take place during the course of Term Two. What is clear, is that schools will not be open for “normal” classroom teaching in April and the early part of May, hence the decision to resume our term with online learning.

There is every likelihood that schools will be able to open again at some stage during the course of the second term – albeit under strict regulations. However, some of our children may still not be able to travel and will need to continue their learning at home. As a result, we will be preparing our lessons for both face-to-face classroom teaching and online learning, where the lessons are recorded and shared with those who can’t be in class or shared live.
