Please find information in the sections below on learning from home due to a bubble closure and when a pupil has to self-isolate.

In the Event of a Bubble Closure

Where a pupil is required to self-isolate in the event of bubble closure in school, but is otherwise well, they are expected to continue to access their learning remotely from home. Please see the information below and the expectations for each year group.

Nursery

In the event of a class or year group closure, the use of Sways will continue from the following day. A pre-planned Sway will be uploaded onto the school website for families to access. Teachers will work together under the direction of the Year Lead and the Assistant Head to plan and generate Sways for the rest of the isolation period. The Sways will contain material linked to the current curriculum for English, maths and one other subject daily. Each morning a Town Hall event will be held to allow children and families access to the teacher and hear an overview of the daily learning.

Reception
